I have a lot of experiences  connected with restaurants or caffes but this one which I’m going to write about is the most memorable  for me.
This june  I spent in France in a lovely village called Vroville.It’s situated near Nancy in a beautiful,agricultural region called Lorraine. I’m lucky because friends of my parents live in there and that’s why I can visit them during summer. It’s always a wonderful time  not to mention a great oportunity to improve my French.
Father,Jean Charles, is a farmer and he has four daughters: Claire, Juliettte,Marie and Caroline. Their mom,Anne, is the best cook in Lorraine for sure!;)Caroline is the youngest of four and she’s the craziest one as well;).
One of the coolest adventures  was a trip to Paris for one day with Caroline and her friend Julia. Before we got to the capital of France we stoped  for a while  in Compiègne-little villege near Paris.  We decided to visit a medieval, beautiful castle Pierrefonds which is the biggest atraction very close to Compiègne. After visiting  we decided to have  dinner in a nearby restaurant  at the bank of the very nice lake.
Now it’s time to mention that Caroline has been a vegetarian since she was four. She chose the salad with goat cheese  but it was usually served with chicken so she asked if it’s possible to make a „no-meat” version for her. Waitress answered that there’s no problem and after 20 minutes of waiting we got our orders with a special salad for Caroline as well. After a few bites she started to watch the souce in her salad and she discovered some little pices of chicken in it. In one moment her face turned  pale and she ran away from the table. It was clear that she was going to vomit.We were very warried about her and after a few minutes of waiting Julia decided to go for search but she couldn’t find her for one hour!Finnally Caroline came back with embarrassed smile on her face.I was outraged  with this unacceptable situation and I wanted to” kill „the cook but  Caroline didn’t want to make a scandal and she decided to pass. I was suprised and angry but that was Caroline’s desicion.
That situation showed me how different our temper and behaviour  could be in interprsonal, social situations.
