What a glorious day with friends. Stefania and I met downstairs and made our way over to a wonderful place for breakfast (the same place Jennifer and I visited yesterday). What a lovely breakfast we had and we both enjoyed the wonderful French toast and coffee. We visited there ‘til around 11:30 and then made our way from there to lunch. We met our friend Evelyn at a different place for lunch where we once again had a very nice long visit. We all enjoyed homemade soup in a bread bowl followed by coffee. We visited until 3:00pm and had to literally pull ourselves away from the table as Stefania had to get back. I’m overjoyed to have met such wonderful friends here at the hotel and we all plan to stay in contact. As a matter of fact, I’m already looking forward to Stefania’s next visit.

Evelyn and Stefania – Stefania stooping to pet Felix (Evelyn’s cute dog). We are just out front of the restaurant an old home converted into such a nice cozy restaurant.

The benches continue to line the front but now the boots have been filled with holly.

The owner of was delivered her new 8 week old pup while we were having lunch. She was bombarded with questions like what’s her name. She kept telling guests, I don’t know, I just got her. She was beaming and it was so obvious that she fell in love with her cute little fella immediately.

Evelyn and Doug have already found their home and will be moving in just before Christmas. We’re already looking forward to our continued friendship long after we are out of the hotel and truly what a joy it has been meeting such wonderful new friends.
