travel and home exchange with pat and lew

dining on the terrace

Posted by Lew Weinstein on February 23, 2007

Our terrace in CollioureI like to cook.

Pat and I have a deal, in Collioure as in Key West. She sets the table (and her table settings are glorious) and cleans up. I cook. We each think we have the better of the deal.

Our kitchen is the most normal sized room in our tiny apartment, and it’s actually quite conducive to cooking. We eat most of our meals on the terrace, although we do have a small cafe table in the kitchen in case the weather is bad.

We bought a small electric grill, the French equivalent of a George Forman model, and set it out on the terrace for hamburgers, steak, and fish, and something that resembles a hot dog.

Each time we eat on the terrace, we’re captured and entranced by our view. Did Steven Spielberg create this just for us?

We hope it never gets routine.
