BON VOYAGE

BREAKFAST AT "MAINSTREET"

Every morning Mom and I would have our breakfast in the same restaurant in the hotel. There was always a fabulous buffet, which we enjoyed very much. Each morning the staff would remember us more, and automatically bring us cappuccino for me, black for me. Soon they were making a plain omelette for Mom, poached egg for Mom. With cheery greetings and special service each day we have gotten quite attached to them. So, yesterday I wanted pictures with each of them-they were thrilled, and flattered.





This is "Eli",...for short because she said it would be hard for us to pronounce her whole name...LOL



These are the four cooks-left:master chef-next two: the ones who remembered our eggs



This is the restaurant manager-Ravi G...when we walked in this morning he said that this was a sad day for him because we were leaving tonight, telling us it has been such a pleasure having us.



...and this gentleman was the one usually bringing our coffees etc. He is such a sweetheart and told both of us that he will never forget us. He also asked us to please remember him and come back again,... very sincerely.  



This is Roop Chadda...the director of operations at the hotel
a very personal gentleman, who made us feel very welcome and was very informative as to how to get around, hiring hotel cars etc. He asked us to call him anytime, and said to keep in touch once we were home. :)  


 Eli gave me a gift of beautiful glass colorful bangles (24), and they served us this cake.







...not only was the gesture incredibly touching, it was delicious!!! :)
