So it's less than 24 hours till my special lady friend enters the country and I can hardly wait. I was able to get more time off than I was expecting to, so we should have a lot free time to travel around the area and see the sights. I'm crazy excited!!!! Hopefully the weather agrees with us. There is a really cool thunder storm going on right now, but I think that it is supposed be nice over the next couple of days.
Last night I was a server instead of a cook. There was a reservation for a 14 top of Americans so they put me out on the floor in my chef whites to wait on them. Of course I was completely nervous at first because I'm so shy, but by the end I was a total blabber mouth.
The group was really cool. They were all friends from Durum, North Carolina, but they were originally from all over. There were people From Rochester, and the Finger Lakes area, and from Ohio, Georgia, Mississippi, and the Carolinas. Small world. I had a blast with them and they really enjoyed themselves a well. They even invited Niki and I to come hang out at the villa that they are staying at which is about 10 minutes from the restaurant. I think that we might take them up on the offer because I have the day off.
This week is a bit slower than last. I'm just watching the season change. The orange blossoms have been replaced by Jasmine flowers which smell equally as brilliant, and I was mistaken on seeing little grapes and olives forming. Those were flower buds that are now blossoming. I guess that they are late bloomers. I am also surrounded by the wheat fields in the area which are spotted with the red corn poppy flowers that are synonymous with this part of the country. Beautiful stuff.
This will probably be my last post for awhile since my free time will be spent with my girl. Ciao!
