By noon, we had all finished and were slowly starving. Being Wednesday, a number of restaurants were closed so most of the class resorted to the Rainbow Cafe. While we patiently waited to be served, a little gray cat occupied much of our attention. When it came time for desert, Martin Rieee had delicious raisin K?D pie, which was free, due to the cook's error.
