After shopping - beer

Stopped at a little café for a refreshment and to celebrate our aquisition. This place has found a way to stand out from the hundreds of cafés in the area.  A host greeted us with a great deal of exuberance and took our order - 100 cl of beer x 2.  We were served almost immediately by another exuberant waiter wearing extra large flashy red glasses - the beers had a lit firecracker the size of a cuban cigar stuck in an orange propped on the side of the mug.  The picture is of Francois `relaxing` and hamming it up for the camera (for you who have seen the movie Bridesmaids - this is his impersonation from one scene.....
