Piper's Patisserie

Thursday 1 July 2004

We're in downtown Truckee, just outside of the woolens shop. A deep horn sounds, and the California Zephyr heads through town, on its way back to the Bay Area.

Lila enjoys the sight, while Isaac whoops and hollars with excitement.

We've looked into Piper's Patisserie on each of our passes through town, but we've been on the way to doing something else. This time we stop in.

First impressions: very tidy, good smell, well-stocked wine bar, great selection of foods. There's something for everyone. Okay, this was a good choice.

Everyone picks their favorites and we sit at a long table with a flag draped down the middle. It's the Fourth of July later this week.

Desserts are brought by the very pleasant staff. They were a big part of how much we enjoyed our meal. Thank you, ladies. (My only complaint was how overly deep-roasted the coffee tasted. Meh.)

Sated, with Zadie already rolling along, we leave Tahoe-Truckee and head back home. It's been a fun few days. Thanks for coming along.
