Tea

First time

The Rhaetian Railway. The dining car between Chur and St. Moritz, almost unchanged since I entered this dining car for the first time, somewhere in the late 90s.
This afternoon we entered the train in Filisur. There was one table free.
My godson turned out to be extremely happy with his steak.
The waitress poured the grappa as if she was pouring Moroccan mint tea, exactly as she did back in 2010 when I got drunk with a group of friends in the same dining car. (This time I didn't order grappa, but other people did.)
No, this dining car is still a valid reason to postpone suicide and to believe in bliss.
