Monday, September 6, 2021 -- Labor Day -- Breakfast with Mark

Mark came into town to visit his uncle in San Clemente who's very ill.
Got together for breakfast before his flight back home to Virginia.
Met at CafĂ© Laurant (parked across the street from the restaurant); about 1/2 mile from the house.
We'll have dinner together on Wednesday when I'm in Virginia for work...
It's amazing how small the MGB is in today's world (compared to a "compact" Mazda 3 on the right, for example).
In the 1970s when the car was built, it must have seemed even smaller around the huge 1960s & 70s American cars.
The other amazing thing is how narrow the car is (good for the incredibly narrow roads in England).
