Some of the best meals we've had on vacation were some of the cheapest.
Sitting along the banks of the Hudson River with a bottle of wine, piece of
cheese, loaf of bread was absolutely phenomenal. Sitting in a park
overlooking Florence in Italy was equally good with the same meal, just a
better cheese. Each of these meals was less than $10 for the two of us and
more memorable than some that cost $200.
