Looking for Audrey Hepburn
... no English but tried his darnedest to communicate with us. As best I can figure, the local motorcycle group meets at his bar every week. We had an excellent lunch prepared by his sister who came and checked on us every few minutes to make sure we were enjoying the food, We were and probably wouldn’t have admitted if we weren’t as she looked as if she could take us all on at once in a bar room brawl.
