Merci, Amelie's!

Thanks to Amelie's French Bakery http://www.ameliesfrenchbakery.com/ I had a fabulous afternoon and evening in Charlotte!  Once we were inside, it was as though we were on a weekend getaway in Paris!  Eclectic, French, great coffee, teas, mineral water, beautiful pastries (we only looked...), delicious soup & sandwiches, everything cozy and warm.  I recalled many fond emotions from when I lived in Europe and spent hours working and studying in coffee shops throughout Frankfurt, DE.  I even corresponded "auf Deutsch" with my former high school German teacher.  While in one moment we felt swept away to a private cafe in Europe, we also amazingly, for one of the first times since our arrival, felt a part of our new community: we were fortunate to have two very warm and inviting conversations with Amelie's welcoming staff.  Merci, merci, merci, Amelie!  You gave us a fabulous day and hope for more to come in our new Queen City. Bissous!
