All of that food sounds wonderful but dinners such as that are wasted on me nowadays. Lots of
different buffets around this area but I'm happy with just a meal for a single person and generally
can't eat all of it at one sitting.

Don't think I've ever eaten Brazilian cuisine. When I was flying in and out of there in the fifties
I was more interested in the beautiful women and the booze, food was a secondary consideration.

I'm glad you and Jimmie had a nice holiday as so many of us did.
