On Sunday Steve took the Duty Managers from Camp Virginia out to an evening of fine dining. We went to the Gaucho Grill, which is probably one of the best restaurants in Kuwait.
We were able to be out all at once through the generosity of three capable volunteers [with gratitude to Ford, Wayne and Davis] and the kindness of two borrowed Duty Managers from Camp Buehring [thank you Ritz and Cate] who came in to cover the Center. Teresa, Center Manager from Balad, Iraq, and Gary Bibeau, Regional Vice-President for Southwest Asia, also joined us.
At the restaurant we had an actual menu and were encouraged to order all manner and sizes of mocktails, steaks, lobster, prawns, sausages, empanadas, potatoes, chicken, oysters, vegetables, salads, sauces, desserts and fondue. We laughed, ate, laughed, talked, told stories, drank, gossiped, laughed and had a generally marvelous time.
At the end of dinner Gary's was obviously the biggest (wallet, that is), so he ended up treating. We need to go out again, but Steve is actually going to pay next time.
