So I needed to eat and I knew the restaurant in the hotel would charge my room if my card didn't work for them. I headed down to the bar to work on my to-do list and eat of course.
I just HAD to have another round of tomato bisque soup and a chocolate martini. I did how ever change the main entree to a BBQ steak quesadilla. It was interesting but very tasty!
The main reason why there is more to post for this day was a nice long chat with a local, Pat. He has worked construction and has traveled to many of the villages, so he gave me a lot of his perspective and insight which was helpful. But more heart warming was this much older gentlemen that had been listening to my "Gia stories" from across the bar came up to me as he was ready to leave.
He says,"Hello, my name is, Harry. Can I give you something?"
I don't answer right away as I am in a new place and my mom and dad always told me to not talk to strangers. But very quickly he says,"it's a surprise."
"Oh, sure you can! I love surprises!"
I caved but sure glad I did because then Harry turned his hand over and opened it up to give me a Hershey's kiss. "It's a goodnight kiss"
I couldn't help but smile real big and say thank you! After the night that I had it was amazing for someone like him to be around!
Then he says,"Well if I knew you had a smile like that I would have given you two right away, here is another one for morning. Now you have a 'good morning' kiss as well."
"Harry, thank you, as I am pretty sure you have made my night!"
What a sweet man! This is a memory that I would like to keep for a long time.
