I have a friend who says "When it comes to food, it's not about where we visit, it's about where we live" - I suppose this means literally in your case. She was saying that if you occasionally eat a burger or go to a friend's house and eat extra cheesy pizza, that is ok, because your foundation is your "home" food. (ie loads of usually organic produce and whole foods). Ten days of empenadas might make you gain 5 lbs, but you should embrace the local foods to the best of your abilities and relinquish the control that you want to have over your diet for 10 days. Even if it is super starchy and meaty, it is probably a "whole" lot better than eating cheetos and chicken nuggets and fries at home. I say, eat what tastes good.

It was neat to meet the rest of the James family, especially having heard so much about both you and your sister. I have to admit that you were not how I pictured you. (Even more beautiful--is that a good line?:-) We so enjoy your parents. They are such good people--though I suspect no one thinks their parents are "perfect" I think they are such good people. Hope to see you in Tokyo one of these days again. Chap Herb Great to have met you here in Tokyo.
