Night number two of dining at a researched restaurant. Why haven't I been doing this all along? This recommended restaurant, reviewed in a local magazine, is simply called "M". It simply seats 40 people. It simply has brown paper on the walls with sketched in lamps, tables, mirrors and pictures. It has a simply coffee maker from the 1960's that grinds the beans before making the coffee. It was simply fun. We had a group of 4, no 5, oh, 6 now.
The people:
- Molly (well known travel partner and nonreplaceable daughter)
- Me (Mom to all and yours truly)
- Andrew (came into the hostel in the early morning from Prague...native of Ontario, Canada, currently serving in the Canadian army in Dubai, on holiday after tour of duty in Dubai, has travelled in about 15 countries in the last 3 weeks and moves on at the speed of light. He can light alchohal on fire in his mouth, has blisters on his feet from walking and owns a new pair of shoes that he charged on Visa for $300......has more blisters...drives a big truck and loves his steak dinner and Kentucky Fried chicken, many tattoos)
- Ben (not his real name, but we couldn't pronounce his real name, so he said to just call him Ben...showed up today, leaves tomorrow, he is originally from Quebec, Canada living outside of Paris, he is a iron man competitor and a mechanical engineer, wears a stylish wool coat and red scarf, did not like short jokes, no dinner for him, just red wine but paid more than his share, great conversationalist)
- Andrew #2 (really Landras, but goes by Andrew, our hostel host whom we all love, born and raised in Budapest, age of 22, has seen many changes in the country and is smart, intelligent and very friendly...good English, bordering on great.....many stories of history and sharing of local tradition and custom....student and worker, living at home with parents, should have a girlfriend, but I don't think he does)
- Samantha (same as night before minus the boyfriend from Dublin who went home, she is originally from Turkey, but has lived all over the world and learned perfect english in San Fransisco and Rhode Island....currently living again in Istanbul, Turkey....artist teacher, amazing sketch drawings, shoe designer, sports tattoos, blog writer, loves neighborhood waffle man, great stories and adventures, loves to walk and take pictures... will travel and live abroad for the rest of her life)
We got in in the early morning.........full of new perspectives, different ideas and travel dreams.
