Xianyi read about a special kind of down-home restaurant that lives only in this city, the gastronomic capital of France, and so we found ourselves one night in a small, red room with a bar and eight little tables. There was no one else there, although it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From Paris, we arrived in Caen last week, a small city in Normandy. We stayed in a tiny 18th-century bed and breakfast called the Hotel St. Etienne.

It was one of those. I traded some barbs with the guy sitting next to me about the captain’s announcements. He [...]]]></description>
