Have baby, will travel: Louisville.com's family columnist embarks on a trip to South America

In two and a half weeks, I am flying down to Ecuador by myself with Jack. Yes... you read that correctly, I. Am. Taking. A. Baby. To. South. America. By. Myself. When I tell people this, their faces usually crumple to a mixture of pity, fear and incredulity.

In two and a half weeks, I am flying down to Ecuador by myself with Jack. Yes... you read that correctly, I. Am. Taking. A. Baby. To. South. America. By. Myself. Once we arrive in Quito, we will meet up with my husband (who is doing work in Peru) and some friends who live there and their brand new baby girl. When I tell people this their jaws drop. “You're flying on an airplane with Jack by yourself for over 6 hours? You're taking a baby to a third world country?!” Their faces usually crumple to a mixture of pity, fear and incredulity.

Cassoulet, ceviche and crepes!

Sister Cities' a Tasteful Affair brought the world on a plate to Louisville
Drifting high in the October blue sky above views of downtown and the river last night I nibbled on treats from all corners of the globe.

Taste your way around the world

Sister Cities of Louisville’s A Tasteful Affair to bring the world to Louisville
One of the things I’ve liked about Louisville since moving here is the international flavor. Before living here I’d suffer post-trip slumps when returning home from an overseas trip. Once in Louisville though, the slumps turned into minor dips as opposed to gaping black holes of ennui. With a trip to Valu-Market in Iroquois, some Italian gelato, a Blue Dog baguette or a visit to Oriental Supermarket, I could once again immerse myself, at least temporarily, in a different culture.
