I've never had high tea there or anything else for that matter. But my friends wanted me to take a peak at the grand lobby and I didn't know that was one of our destinations, so I really wasn't dressed appropriately. If one could feel like a pauper, it was me.
I would have dressed for the occasion! Then the good friends of mine insisted I should examine the 'ladies room'. It was beautiful. No paper towels there...beautiful washclothes so that friends helped themselves to.
I didn't and I didn't partake of the mints they had in a beautiful container.
However, I entered their stall..and I was really impressed....it was just lovely. Made me feel that this natural function of all living things, was a special 'happening'. I think that was the first toilet that flushed itself and scared the heck out of me.
Then I went to rinse off my hands....and I never turned on the faucets...the water splashed on to my hands. Then the lotion...don't know what it was but it smelled delicious.
There was a woman sitting on a stool watching everything and I dropped a dollar into her container.
It sure was worth it. It was an experience...an adventure.
Now I can actually say...I've been to the Ritz and the service was great. I was explaining this to my friend Virginia...and she insisted I write this blog...so if it doesn't meet with your propriety...you must blame her!
