When I last left you hanging, we were off to dinner at Lugano's best restaurant with Caitie and Pietro. We have just returned. What a meal.
To describe the setting: Although Mike was hosting the meal, language proficiency thrust Pietro into the role of working with the restaurant staff. This place doesn't have a written menu. The waiters describe the offerings verbally in Italian, so poor Pietro had to translate to us plus add editorials to explain to us which offerings were likely entrees and which were starters. He was materful, turning us on to such things as champagne risotto which was a shared starter that we all loved. We ate our meal over a three hour stretch of time and three bottles of wine. Everyone enjoyed the food and the company. Pietro did a wonderful job of recommending the best choices to us and all of us ended the meal happy.
So, It is 11:15 pm and Mike and I are tucked in for the night. Caitie has poor Pietro out walking laps of the city until she feels that she has sufficiently worked off that meal. Hopefully they will be back in time to meet us for the 10:00 breakfast buffet. :+)
Love,
Deanne
