An enjoyable read?about living (and aging) and traveling (and tasting) onward. As much about travel, too, as about food; but the two are clearly intertwined. Demonstrates that food has import in peoples? lives at a level that has long been overlooked (or so I believe). Passages of note: 'Because I had to concentrate on only one thing?writing a book?twenty-four hours was long enough to encompass everything. There was time to write, walk, swim, eat, and visit with friends, and still get a good night?s sleep' (p. 270; re. a trip to the village of Oia on the Greek island of Santorini?chunks of this book were completed there). 'We come to love not by finding a perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly' (p. 290). Cool experience (ch. 17): walking from the source of the Thames to the English Channel, some 200 miles. 'Flowers I couldn?t name bloomed next to bushes I couldn?t name under trees I couldn?t name. This pissed me off. Why was I forced to study algebra but not the world around me?' (p. 282).
