Earlier this morning, I posted in between loads of laundry. When I was done, I realized that it was after 6:00am... so I wandered over for breakfast...
When I walked in, the cook was just finishing filling the service, he turned, saw and welcomed me, and said, "I am sorry sir, there is no bacon this morning." He then went straight back to the kitchen.
The server came out, saw me, and gave me a hug! Asking me, "A tortilla today?" I replied, "Yes please." As I grabbed a plate, she was pouring some orange juice and set it on a table. I went to the first warmer and took a scoop of scrambled eggs, next to it were some pancakes. As I opened the next warmer... there was both bacon and sausage! I smiled, as I knew the cook had tried to pull one over on me.
As I was sitting down, here he came with a fresh, hot tortilla! And he was smiling from ear to ear!
They both welcomed me back. I then told them that tomorrow I would be leaving, yet I would be back in a week. Both smiled and the cook said, "Bacon, potatoes, and tortillas every day when you return!"
It was an awesome experience. To think that a single person could make an impression on others, be remembered, and welcomed back. I appreciate the extra attention I received this morning, and, that I was the object of a joke! It re-enforced my belief that it is the little things that matter.
And to top it all off...
I was never asked for my room number.
Muchas gracias, mis amigos!
