This is fun but difficult! It is hard to narrow favorites to 3 each.

Cities: Paris, Venice, London.

Countries: France, Italy, UK

Villages: St. Remy, Roussilion, and San Gimignano and Castellina in Chianti (tie)

Foods: Gnocci, gelato, and Fois Gras - all because they are not as available or as good at home.

Peep, can you tell us your favorites?
