My wife, Bea, and I traveled through Poland, the Baltics and Russia (St. Petersburg) with friends in September 2020, and I’d like to share a few recommendations.

"I have enjoyed so many wonderful foods while traveling, like ice cream in Venice and falafel on the streets of Tel Aviv, but my favorite "food" ... was a cup of hot tea in Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka, at the Heritance Tea Factory hotel, on March 2, 2014. ...
