Dear Marge, First day, first meal, first Post Card, first menu! The menu alone was four pages - this doesn't include the wine list or the cocktail list.  It was one of the biggest problems of my life.  We started with burgundy ($1:00 a glass) - then Onion soup and for the entrée, a combination of crab meat and ham cooked in butter.  I finished with Cherries ice cream & rum. P.S. The Coffee was good too. Hungry?
