We made it!
I think the mountain passes are officially the prettiest part of the trip so far (except for the pastry, but that comes later).
You already heard about dinner at Delancey last night, except, as a Brussels sprouts non-appreciator he neglected to mention the ridiculously delicious wood oven roasted Brussels sprouts with charred leek vinaigrette and goat gouda. We ate them all before taking a picture even occurred to anyone.
Here is a video of the jo kata (it is a work in progress).
This morning we had out first pastry of the trip, from Honore bakery (named after the patron saint of bakers, if you were wondering). Huckleberry danish, Kouign Amann, and a croissant. They were all completely amazing, and I'm hoping it hasn't ruined us for the rest of the trip.
Tonight, first class with Jan Sensei, and probably a visit to the farmers' market near the hosting dojo. This is just a pre-class, the real seminar starts tomorrow.
