There was an incredible event in Leiden this weekend, and I missed it! The annual Culinary Festival ran through this evening, from July 3-6. Some of the best restaurants in Leiden – and believe me, there are plenty – are on display here and offer their prized dishes in special quantities and prices.

There’s also a music program that goes with the festival. Next year, perhaps, bring a healthy appetite and lots of cash. And hope it doesn’t rain, as it did last year and this year. Maybe I am better off waiting for sunny weather in 2009.
