Dinner, conversation, and wine

All four of us were beat and took naps. Even though all the books say not to sleep when you arrive, we had to get a little rest. Then we got up and headed for dinner. So far we eat, sleep, and eat some more. None too shabby, if you ask me.
Dinner was good, no photos, sorry mom. We started with leek soup, then rice with veggies and a mushroom sauce over some veal. I don't eat veal as a rule, but I believe in eating what is served when you are a guest, so no nasty remarks please.
What was fun was chatting with the others at the table. One couple was from MN, just east of Fargo. They are with their adult son. He works in Zurich. The other family was from Redondo Beach CA. The we're with their young daughter. Then there were two young guys from TN and a German Family with a young son.




We ended up hanging out with the two guys from TN and making sure all the wine bottles on the table were empty :-) it was a yummy table Merlot that matched up well with the dark chocolates we brought down after dinner. The real excitement was hunting flies. According to Tim (our host at Walter's), there are a lot of flies, because there is a lot of cow shit. There are a lot of flies, so I'll trust him. Walter's has a "tennis racket/bug zapper" that really packs a punch. Yes Henry and Bruce, I touched it! Note: there is an inverse correlation between the accuracy and speed of swinging the bug zapper and the amount of wine consumed.
