Femme fatale

Perhaps it is her brilliant blonde hair. Or perhaps it is the dashing red Egyptian cotton scarf she has added to her travelers khaki. But Catherine is Lacocoegypt's femme fatale. Two different waiters while delivering soup to our table flirted with her: To Cathy and Sara" Vegetable soup?". To Jim, Jo and Boo "Lentil soup?" To Catherine: "Tomato soup?" "No, onion soup!" " No, tomato soup." No onion soup" then with a flourish, Catherine is presented with onion soup. Twice.

At the son et lumiere, Catherine was seated by a guard in front of the barrier, so she could see, while everyone else had to stand. Later, the same guard held a flashlight for Catherine and whispered " Canada?" He clearly thought that Catherine was a very desireable means to a greencard. Last night, after she purchased jewelry, she was told by the jeweler that she had pretty eyes and kissed. When she and Jim walked to dinner someone told Jim "Nice mustache" and to Catherine "Lucky lady." When Jim said "my daughter," the guy said "How many camels for your daughter?"
