\tThis morning I drove downtown to pick up a couple in town for their house-hunting trip. Bill and I are their \u0093mentor\u0094 family… which means we’re supposed to help them navigate the challenges and introduce them to the other ISE’s. <\/p>\n
\tI got to their hotel and both looked really refreshed and peppy. I don’t think I looked either the entire week I was here house-hunting.<\/p>\n
\tWe were supposed to have breakfast, but as I was getting to their hotel I realized I don’t know downtown very well and really wasn’t sure where to go. They told me they were up for anything and that they’d passed a little cafe the day before while out walking that they thought might be open. (A lot downtown is closed Monday morning to make up for being open a couple of hours on Sunday morning.) So we walked down the street to what turned out to be a bar attached to a tabac. (Cigarette\/magazine store.) <\/p>\n
\tWe ordered our coffees and I wasn’t sure if we’d get any kind of breakfast. Which was not great, since I hadn’t eaten at home and my stomach was starting to growl. The waiter (who I think was probably the owner) offered us croissants and pain au chocolat (basically croissants with chocolate inside). But he only brought two pain au chocolat. Which I really don’t even like. So I went up to the bar to ask for a croissant. He said they were out… then offered some bread with butter and jam. Sure. I sat back down and after what seemed like quite a while to bring me a chunk of bread, he arrived at the table. He had cut what had to be an entire small baguette in half then into pieces about 6 inches long, piled it on a plate, along with an entire block of butter and new jar of jam. He must have thought we were really hungry. Although we did our best to make a dent in the bread. It was really, really good. I’ve actually never even put butter and jam on my bread before… turns out it’s good!<\/p>\n
\tIt also turned out to be a nice welcome for a new family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
