Service with a smile...


Recently and while attending my son's wedding, I was so very astounded with the service provided during the reception dinner. Waiters marched in in exact numbers for each row, with a plate in each hand. Stopping behind each guest, servers delivered plates simultaneously on the elongated tables.

Such and elegant and stylish touch, I thought. No need to stall while others at the table wait to be served, as victuals becomes chilled or wilted. I understand this technique of service is referred to as "the wave".

Scoot-scoot!




These cute little hand towels had to be purchased and added to the luggage for return to the US. Scoot-scoots are ever-present in Bermuda and I loved the masculine represented Vespa with golf clubs in tow.
