Back from Rimini, Crusinello and Paris!

Ah yes, back! Thought I would just give you a bit of a taste of RCP!
On my Food, Wine & Design: Rimini was the Miami Beach of Italy, truly. (Again, pix to follow). The food was not the caliber of "my" Italy, except for the breakfast in the Club Hotel - it was stupendous! And served outside! Nuff said. I stayed in Milan for one night and as always, can't be beat! Had lamp chops they flew in from New Zealand (New Zealand???), but as Le Meridien Gallia hotel food, it was wonderful. Lastly, Paris. Actually didn't have a bad meal! Palais Royale was probably the best. The decor was truly bordello French (in a good way) and from the fish to the chocolat (french) cake, it was fantastic. The wine, particularly, was the "house" white wine and oh, so good. I'm actually enroute to San Francisco and so pix will follow. Just wanted to bring you up to date. Lastly, Maison Objet was terrific. Traffic seemed good and all reported orders, smaller in size, but more people buying. Lack of Americans was evident. Talk soon.
