Café San Pietro, Bryn Mawr

Friday 13 April
After Barbara's lecture (lots more than six people in the audience; see below), the entire Bryn Mawr graduate archaeology group (except those currently down a pit in Athens or elsewhere) took us out to a local favorite, Café San Pietro (Thanks, C. Densmore Curtis, the founder of the feast! Thanks, clever and kind graduate students!). Wine and dig stories flowed freely. We split two salads, the San Pietro, topped with crisp shrimp, and smoked salmon, ditto with three vast flensings of lox. There was a vitello ai carciofi (very generous with the artichokes) and a "nice piece fish": striped bass in a roasted red pepper sauce. A touch of grappa and more dig stories for dessert.
