Last night we had the most wonderful dinner at Chez la Mere Michel. We were lucky in that they had a table for us since we didnt have a reservation. We were tucked away in the smoking section. For a while, the rest of the restaurant seemed empt, it looked like they just hid all the Americans in the back! At the table across from us sat two women in their 40s. They drank a lot of wine. By the glass, too -- thw would have been better off ordering two bottles -- a white & a red. One stumbled on her way out. At the table next to us was an "interesting" couple from South Carolina. Brendan's theory about old southerners being the ones who travel still holds. She inspected the art -- touching it - and he was a little bit gruff with the waiter. I have to say, we were the waiter's favorites. She swiped an ash tray saying, "I collect," and shrugging. Shortly after she slipped it in her pocket, the waiter walked in the room. I thought perhaps he caught her. That would have been so funny. The food was so nice, so good. I had a souffle du fromage wih Swiss cheese and a light, perfectly flaky pastry, and the coq au vin which just fell off the bone and was very tasty. Bren had the filet and a strawberry dessert that was so light and so delicious. We were so exhausted when we got back (at about 9:30) that we were in bed, asleep at 10 or 10:30. Soon we're leaving for Parc Olympique.
