The first night at Restaurant L’Avenir
Thursday, 24th of October 1988 (By David A.)
With mixed emotions we arrived at Hotel Agora. His change of name – was it an omen of change in all of us.
We walked at least 100 meters to the restaurant; had the organisers forgotten that we are now ten years older. But, inside the restaurant we entered a time warp. Around the table there were faces of friends, who looked exactly the same as they did 10 years earlier. Memories came flooding back and related stories were interspersed by shouts for more wine. The arrival of Bob Collins prompted questions of current IMEDE but the past was of greater interest.
The food we ate was delicious, but superfluous!
We were just warming to the occasion at closing time so – on the White Horse at Ouchy for more memories. I only wish mine had been better as it took us a long time to walk home.
