We arrived Islay, Scotland, a small island in the Inner Hebrides, at 6 pm after a twenty-two hour journey (JFK—>Amsterdam—>Glasgow—>Islay), in time for our 7 pm dinner reservation. Islay time. I snapped a pic of Ann on the tarmac with the ocean, beach, and surf behind her, then we tugged our roller bags across a two lane road, up a long gravel driveway to our accommodations, the lovely BnB, Glenegedale.

We’ve just returned from the beautiful colonial city of San Miguel de Allende, 170 miles NW of Mexico City. It was my first time and Ann’s first time at the writers’ conference. John Irving opened the conference, reading from his forthcoming novel, Queen Esther. And, happily, among the keynotes was , who gave a fabulous presentation combining her memoirs and her fiction. If there is a better ambassador for the importance of writing about food, I don’t know him or her.
