THE BILL (January 25, 2008)

Miro Kopčalić appeared in Motovun early this afternoon. Having finished his business, he gave me a call. After a short chat, we agreed to have lunch at Cotić’s, the only restaurant open in town out of season. When the bill came, I grabbed it. “Fuck you,” Miro growled half in jest. He knows full well that Cotić’s is the cheapest restaurant in town. By the time he comes to visit again, other restaurants might be open, as well.
