The rooms that represent the family living quarters have a number of interesting decorative elements that provides some ideas to emulate. It is amazing what effects can be accomplished with paint. In particular there is on room that seems to be covered with very expensive satin wallpaper but in reality it is simply a very effective execution in paint. Very impressive.
Final stop in town was for lunch. Since we arrived a little late, the place was already packed both inside and the outside seating areas. When we stepped in, the staff was fully occupied and the proprietor was away from the counter located near the door. But there seemed to be a couple tables remaining open so we decided to wait for someone to seat us as we stood a couple feet from the counter. A few minutes later the proprietor arrived at the counter just as a couple of twentysomethings stepped in... A rather aggressive Miss High Maintenance scooted between Queen Bee and the counter and got the attention of the proprietor first. Of course they were instantly seated while we were left standing. QB buzzed angrily. Luckily there was the second table (directly next to the Miss HM and her perspective mate). It was a little difficult to calm the angry bee and avoid a stinging encounter but as the food arrived QB moved on and we enjoy a simple lunch (gnocchi for QB and risotto for me) and nice dessert.
