Mon, 03 Jan 2005Waves, rocks, sand. Wine, corvina a la plancha and ensalada chilena. Basic elements. Sun setting into the fog bank miles out in the sea. The end of a day spent walking along the edge of the continent. The last rays illuminate the wave's spray as the darkness begins to fold the sky to the earth. And a small cool evening breeze.
The restaurant playing 1940s U.S. Chattanooga Chu Chu. The wine: Errazuriz Corton Cabernet Sauvignon. Finish with mineral water then move on to the German pastry shop.
My language becomes even simpler as the food and wine settle in - and the thought of desert. Seagulls, pelicans in the dark - people on the rocks.
