Hello! It's been awhile since I did a Sunday Salon. I've missed it, but life has really gotten in the way. This weekend has been hotter than the standard here.

I've read a lot of travel books and memoirs, and they…
This was suppose to be read for the In Their Shoes memoirs/bio challenges, but I got it from the library early and couldn't put if off til 2008. Besides, it's more coffee table book than memoirs as it is full of pictures. I love Tony Bourdain since I read A Cook's Tour years ago.
