The servers were stretched too thin as the time went on, so we waited a long time for our desserts, but we had no where to be and spent the time chatting with some Americans at the next table. Enjoying a good meal while sitting in a shady square on a beautiful day is one of the experiences that reminds us how fortunate we are to be living in this part of France.
