This past week John had to go to Germany and Austria for work (hence my spontaneous trip to to Utah to see the fam). Two days before he left James came down with a tummy bug and threw-up about 20 times in 24 hours. I came down with it my first night in Salt Lake and John ended up feeling the sickness about 10 minutes in to his flight. He ended up spending his entire business class flight in the bathroom hugging the toilet (instead of in this two meter long bed we googled about a few hours before). What a way to start his German work day. But at least it was all uphill from there. Unfortunately we have now spread our germs to Germany and Salt Lake City. So chances are, you can probably blame a Gregory if you are feeling queasy. SorryL.
John's first meal he actually kept down. This restaurant is from the 16oo's! Napoleon was wined and dined here in this very room. Think of the tales of wars and conquests shared here over beer and blood sausage. Sweeeet!
Next time you need something to do with your hands in a picture try the Napolean pose.
This my friends, is the most expensive delicacy in the world. I've never heard of truffles that aren't chocolate so I had to Wiki them. They are wild mushrooms that grow underground and cost up to $450 a pound. They use pigs and dogs to find them by sniffing them out.
Obviously this meal was comped by the company...otherwise he'd probably be eating Peanut Butter and Jelly. John says it was good but he is more of a meat and potatoes kind of man.
Mmmmm, this chocolate mousse was made right before his eyes.
His sweet suite at the Intercontinental. It looks romantic. I wish I wasn't on the other side of the world when this photo was taken.
Dual shower spouts. One that rains and one that sprays. The Intercontinental knows how to keep you clean.
Stay tuned! Tomorrow my honey takes over Hannover:).
