At this moment, hunting and snaring dinner would be easier than trying to choose a restaurant. The stress is becoming a source of marital discord... the right food, at the right location, and the right price.
Dinner in Amsterdam was easy. A table with a view was all that was required. People walking, biking or passing canal boats proved entertaining for hours! And, the price was reasonable. Prague was wonderful. We found some fabulous little restaurants that were fun, romantic and really well priced. Germany was a surprise... easy to order, good choices, good value.
But now, there is France. It is so complicated and expensive... and my expectations are so much higher. Rogers's are not. So, I drag him around one town after another. "I'll be happy with a hot dog," he wails. The French towns (from Strasbourg to Reims) have a lot of pizzas, pastas, and kebabs .... meals that are more reasonably priced. We have had them all. But finally, we had one of our best meals ... in the car, in the middle of a field of grapes being picked for champagne... stinky cheese, good bread, great sausage and a fine wine. What more could either of us want?
