Travel Tidbits

We found Bali, Indonesia, a wonderful location to visit. The only caveat from our trip is that it was hot and humid in April, although we experienced no rain. We would recommend a Bali visit, particularly in combination with a trip to Australia or Asia. — MYRNA PLOST, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA

In the harbor on São Jorge, Azores, they were celebrating the Feast of the Holy Spirit during our visit (in June). Large tents were erected to serve as restaurants, and our group ate traditional Azorean fare, including pork, linguica, blood sausage, octopus and taro root, not to mention Holy Spirit sopa (soup) — broth ladled over bread and cabbage. — CAROLE WARDELL, Spring Valley, NY

In Turin, Italy, our favorite pasta was a regional specialty, agnolotti (mini-ravioli with a hearty meat filling). The agnolotti were served as a side dish and the sauces varied: sage-flavored butter sauce or a cream sauce with melted cheese. — CHRISTINA SEBELIUS, Los Angeles, CA
