==============================

My fourth day on vacation.  My fourth chance to sip coffee in a cafe before my wife wakes up, and watch people.  Every morning there’s a beautiful older woman at the red door across the way.  She doesn’t knock… she waits.  Eventually the door swings open… not revealing who is inside.  Each day, I make up a different story about her, who she is seeing and why… a maid, a governess, a paramour?  My imagination runs wild.  
Today she’s late.  She fidgets… shows off her beautiful ass!  I’m riveted.  She sits on the stoop… pulls her knees up… quite a show!   The men at the next table comment in Spanish – words I don’t know but they aren’t kind. 
She finally strolls over the cafe.  The owner hands her a steaming cup.  She plunks down in the chair opposite me.  
“Tourista?” She asks.  Ugh.  
“Si,” I nod and wink, feeling bold.  
“Hilton?” she fishes for my lodging.  I shake my head, pointing West, naming a small bed & breakfast place near the beach about 10 blocks away.  She smiles.  I am enchanted. 
She points up the hill in the other direction.  “Mi casa,” she whispers.  She rises and takes my hand.

We went out to Swanton Street Diner in Winchester.  I ordered the seafood risotto and had a very hard time keeping a straight face when they said they were out of scallops, would I mind if they added more lobster instead?  No problem with that!  Hee!
