I am not on vacation right now. But I am sitting next to my dog, looking at pictures of vacation, which is a pretty decent alternative. Bouchon Bakery is certainly not a well kept secret, and in some ways I found the spot too tourist-centred, but this chocolate almond croissant really was delicious. That having been said, it was probably the warm sun, the lazy day of cycling around the Napa Valley, and a week of zero responsibility that made everything seem even sweeter.
When I was younger I remember my mum telling me to "bottle up" those moments when you felt full of happiness, because you might need to draw on them at a later time. I think the day where we arrived in Napa was one of those days, and now that I am back in the trappings of long work days, assignments and deadlines, I think I can appreciate the experience of travel and exploring new places even more.
I hadn't intended to write such a contemplative post, but there you have it. Memories of jumbo croissant for the win.
