culinary adventures in europe

[americnxidiot]

I was in Europe for about ten days, from May 22 until June 2. I saw lots of monuments, met a lot of interesting people, and saw five different cities, but who cares, because the food was amazing and that's all I really care about. So delicious. I hope the pictures are all facing the right direction, but it's food, so you can get the picture anyway haha.

WARNING: This post may make you hungry. I got really hungry just making it.
