Oh, but the surprises were not quite over yet! Laura was there, too! That made a triumvirate of fun Disney cohorts.
We all sat and exchanged travel stories. I helped Sarahbeth make some stills from two movies on her camera (she'd saved them for over a year, hoping someday to have this done). And we all posited our own guesses as to whether the cheese Sarahbeth had bought would be allowed past security. There was also the tale of the white truffles, which goes something like this:
My coworkers were eating at a very old, classic, fancy restaurant in Paris. Laura ordered the white truffles. At 15€, it sounded like a bargain. The waiter came out with the dish (pasta? risotto? what was it?) and a bowl of truffles. He put on white gloves, then asked how many ounces Laura would like. Everyone raised their eyebrows. How many OUNCES? Oops!
She chose the smallest truffle she could, the man picked it from the bowl and grated it over the dish. The tiny mushroom was 9 ounces, and so, at 15€ an ounce, the appetizer only cost about 135€. Well worth the price, I'm sure.
