Outdoor Cafes

The little streets near our hotel
Are peppered with cafes
And every night we choose one
On these almost-summer days.

We stand out from the locals
But we're welcome, with a smile,
To sip a beer and have a meal
And people-watch in style.

A lovely way to settle down
From visiting the sights,
As hectic hops around the town
Dissolve to quiet nights.

How fortunate to be away
When weather's on our side,
For suppering outdoors is great;
It cannot be denied.
