Dinner last night was a marvel. We opted not to eat from the prix fixe menu, but to order a la carte. We receive an "amuse" (sp?) as an opener...a spoonful of some fizzy powder with a piece of strawberry and cream as a palate freshener. What a surprise taste in your mouth! Then beautiful plates of shrimp, for Jamie, and asparagus with morels for me. The bread was served with 2 types of butter and 2 types of salt, and was delicious and fresh. I had a bowl of fragrant pasta, and we were already full. Then off to the most luscious, cozy 4 poster bed. soft pillows, perfect comforters, chocolates on the bed in a crystal bowl. Lou was given an organic dog bone, and loved it. We slept like babies.
I was up at 6 AM, and since this is a non smoking property, went out for a smoke and a walk for Lou. The temperature was warm, the humidity not too bad, yet. Coffee is served with 2 types of cubed sugar, brown and white, and was rich and fragrant. I just had a peaceful swim in the pool surrounded by crepe myrtles and magnolias. We're going to read a little this morning, then hit the road again around noon. Tonight,perhaps, we'll be in our tent at Ichitucknee Springs. If there is wi-fi, I'll report again.
