Ubiquitous Umbrellas
Not outside; as previously noted, it does rain sometimes yet usually not for long.
Lots of umbrellas inside and poolside - in drinks. The bar and restaurant are open to each other - but trust me, it is elegant. So bartenders do the drinks for the waitresses. Folks sitting at the bar tend to be less into drink aesthetics as they are, per Brian, mostly locals. But not surprisingly, tourists who dine here like sweet, fruity drinks with little umbrellas (or parasols, if you prefer) decorating them. It seems to be part of the overall Hawaiian experience.
Getting more e-mails from friends and family. The one other female in my mixology class has gotten a job at North Shore (Chicago area) country club. She didn't say but when winter winds blow near Lake Michigan, hot toddies, buttered rum, Irish coffee, and warm liqueurs in demitasse cups must be big sellers.
I wonder if I'll ever be called upon to prepare one of the above.
