In the land of ice and snow (aka Chicago, though I hear the rest of the Midwest and Northeast is getting it pretty bad as well), your photos are a nice escape. Your Vietnamese food post prompted Andy and I to make reservations at THE fancy Vietnamese restaurant in Chicago. Unfortunately, we were much happier with our favorite hole in the wall spot that costs about a quarter of what we paid there. I agree with your assertion that great food can be found in some pretty unlikely spots. Now that we've got a taste for it, we'll be heading up North to Argyle street for some Pho Tai, Bo Nuong Cuon Banh Trang and to our favorite Banh Mi place as well. If you miss the cuisine when you return, I've got quite a few reco's in Chicago for you. Very pretty flowers!
