We finally did get a couple of bottles of wine for Dot's dinner. Like a returning champion Bill walked over to Dot's abode to say hello. Dot always the charming, warm-hearted, gracious lady greeted us with big hugs and kiss to welcome our return.
We opened up a bottle of the Pinot as we each shared tales of our summer. Dot had her eightieth Birthday party. She looks wonderful and presides over her kitchen like a grande dame of chefs. We chatted a bit and then retuned to the house to freshen up for dinner.
Over dinner, we had the wonderful chance to meet Dot's daughter Sarah and her good guy husband. The conversation flowed freely as I regaled them with tales of our trip. Along with agreeable talk, we spent the next 3 hours feasting on tomato and mozzarella salad to start, then a salmon cooked to perfection, with wonderful potatoes and zucchini on the side. We ended it all, with a meringue and ice cream covered with raspberry sauce. My god, it was the first meal on the whole trip where I ate everything with no problems. What a feast for the senses. Simply put, Dot is amazing!

I'm so sad this trip will end.
