A Tale of two Patios: From Berlin to Prince edward county

​As I dive into the second edition of From Promise to Peril, meticulously editing chapter 12, I'm transported back to the opulence of Berlin's high-end venues, particularly the terrace at Café Romanisches, a favorite spot of my characters Anna and Marta. This elegant café, with its sophisticated ambiance, brings to mind a cherished personal haven: the patio at the Drake Hotel in Prince Edward County. Here, I've spent countless evenings savoring a glass of Pinot Grigio with my daughters, surrounded by the same blend of luxury and comfort that defines both settings. Join me as I explore the parallels between these two special places and the memories they evoke.

In Berlin, the opulence of the rich flowed from within the revered architecture of the main hotels to outdoor high-end venues of popular cafés and bistros, among these was the Café Romanisches. This scene, in chapter 12, with its elegance and vibrant social life, undoubtedly evoked vivid memories for me.

As I sit on the Drake's patio, the ambiance of Berlin's outdoor venues often comes to mind. With its rustic yet refined atmosphere, string lighting, and lush surroundings, offers a serene yet sophisticated setting much like the Café Romanisches. Here, I can savor the blend of luxury, comfort, and the joy of shared moments that both places provide. The menu at the Drake offers an array of gourmet dishes, each presented with artistic flair, reminiscent of the culinary delights one might find in the high-end bistros of Berlin. Sipping on a glass of Pinot Grigio, I often reflect on the similarities between these two cherished places. Both the Café Romanisches and the Drake's patio provide not just a meal or a drink, but an experience—a blend of luxury, comfort, and the joy of shared moments with loved ones. This connection between my favorite spots in the setting in Berlin and Prince Edward County highlight the universal appeal of such glorious and convivial settings, bridging timeless elegance across continents.

As I continue editing From Promise to Peril, the scenes of Berlin's opulence and the cherished moments on the patio at the Drake blend seamlessly in my mind. These places, though miles apart, share a unique charm and atmosphere that I hope to convey through my writing and personal experiences. 

I invite you to immerse yourself in the world of Anna and Marta by picking up a copy of From Promise to Peril. Let the vivid descriptions transport you to the Café Romanisches and beyond. And if you find yourself in Prince Edward County, be sure to visit the Drake's patio. Sit back with a glass of Pinot Grigio, enjoy the serene ambiance, and create your own cherished memories.

Both reading the book and the visiting the Drake promise to create experiences of luxury, comfort, and the beauty of shared moments. Whether through the pages of my novel or a visit to the picturesque Drake Hotel, I hope you find the same joy and inspiration that these places have given me.
