- 24. ―Eating Mallorca inSan Juan, Puerto Rico. Visited a 100 year old cafe called Le Bombanerra with my husband on our honeymoon. The cafe was weathered and full of regional flair. The old coffee maker which was as old as the restaurant itself made the best coffee I've ever tasted, the front window on the street was filled with pastries. We ordered some inside to go with the coffee, We sat in the noisy cafe chatting with each other and enjoying our coffee and pastry. Both of which were unique to the region, the cafe was filled with locals and tourists alike. A real gem.‖ ―Cooking classes in Thailand. It was so magical because they took us out into the gardens to pick all the vegetables and herbs needed for the dishes. Great learning experience.‖ ―An early morning hot-air balloon ride over the Willamette Valley celebrating the release of a vintage pinot noir -- including pours in the basket -- followed by a champagne breakfast back on the ground. And it was our first balloon ride, a magical experience by itself.‖
