So, I am finally here -- at Cafe Lalo's. I hadn't imagined, I'd come to a place lkke this -- mostly because I hadn't imagined, such a place would exist.
From the outside it has the look of a rather well lit, and very tidy place for conducting business over liqour -- but that could well have been because I had passed by numerous pubs and rather classy beer and whiskey places on the way here. As I got closer, however, it became more and more apparent that this place was more fond of displaying it's desserts.
Even before I stepped in through the door, I heard my friend's beautiful singing voice, and wonderful sound of the other one playing -- the duo, Jatziri and Alec, were providing the entertainment for the evening, and they both seemed to be having a jolly good time as I walked in.
The moment that I walked in I saw seated a multitude of ethnicites, both serving and served, and rather contrary to my first impression, I saw a young father dancing with his daughter, much to the joy of the little girl's mother.
As I sat near a corner (it was rather hard to get a table when I had walked in), enjoying the second pot of their rather flavorful teas, which had light flavors but were rather delightfully aromatic, I heard someone tell a friend that this place had pretty much whatever you could wish for. That sounded like wishful thinking, but Jatziri also told me during their break that this place had some good food.
All around me, I saw a rather coordial social atmosphere -- people coming in with friends or family, and some of them seeming warm and close to the people working here.
It has been great, and I thank my friends for having invited me here, tonight. I am really having a great time.
