Luce
Luce is a colorful restaurant on the main street of Middletown, 20 minutes south of Hartford. It was warm last week -- a real "Indian summer." It will be cooler this week. Fall is in the air.
Regarding your comment on the role of Portugal in WWII: Salazar, the dictator, kept the country neutral, therefore this was paradise for the European royalty in exile, also for those who want to leave for America and... German spies. Lisbon was known as the 'Capital of Espionage'. Amazing stories took place here and many novels have been written.

'Indian summer' weather is the best, but autumn is pretty good also. Love the row of yellow umbrellas Jack, looks like a really inviting spot. We're gearing up for summer here and I'm already dreading it!
Oh, and what do you know about Ocalan's posteriors? Sheesh. I'll bet you've got as many fat-asses up thataway as we have down here. Maybe. Perhaps. Possibly. Maybe not. Who knows?

No wonder this place is called "light" (Luce in italian); look at all those bright , warm golden colors!It's so welcoming!
Beautiful colors in this one. How'd you get the building to change color for the fall?
The name of the bar, you forgetful old man, was Cheers! Jeez.
It's been nice and cool here at night and in the mornings and now I'm off to try my hand at golfs again...the operative word is "try."

I love all those beautiful hanging baskets and those gorgeous bay windows! Wonderful fall colors in this shot Jack.
A very pleasant place !
Beautiful place Jack!
Beautiful fall colours! We're having one of the best Septembers on record here, hope it lasts.
Hot colours for hot weather. I would enjoy sitting under one of those umbrellas in the shade.
This places looks very inviting. I'd gladly stop here.
How'd you know about my father's mustache?
Nice looking patio.
Wonderful colors!
What a lovely place! Love the colors! I could definitely enjoy a meal there!! Enjoy your day, Jack!
Wonderful colors and light, Jack. In this atmosphere the food must taste good.

You are hinting at autumn again in this shot. What a fun scene this is and looks a bit like Europe. I love the line of hanging plants.

I'd love to sit out there on a day like that!
WE have had one or two warm days of late.
indian summer just about describes your photo!
this picture makes me want to wear an airy sundress while sipping iced tea!
Looks like a perfect spot to sit and relax.
Great atmosphere in this shot. Must have been hot or those tables would be full of people sipping cool drinks.
What a lovely spot to eat in the open air, love the flowers and umbrellas...
Wow, that's warm. If you told me it was in Provence I'd believe you.
Cheerful! Much nicer than grey, grey, grey/;))
Such a colorful shot!
And the house is gorgeous!
Definitely the kind of place where I'd love to have the meal. Love the colors, the flowers, the style, everything.
