Nous avons vu Marc encore

Je suis contente.

Marc was a waiter at Marro, where we eat so often and have for many years. We get to know the waiters fairly well, but then they take new jobs and disappear. 

Marc was one of those waiters. There was the time I left Llara in the car mid morning to run into Marro to make a reservation and ended up chatting with Marc for a good 15 minutes. Llara wasn't surprised.

We missed Marc when he became one of the disappeared.

Last month Julia ran into Marc at Migros. He told her the restaurant which

he was managing, a step up. It was on the French-Swiss border about 10 minutes from the house if one stops for the post on the way.

Today we ate there.

Big smiles when we walked in, but Marc was/is a smile specialist.

We exchanged cheek kisses

He offered us a glass of Porto for our apèro and we had big hugs when we left.

I love that we have relationships that go beyond just the polite customer/service person thingie.
