We arrived at the Gault Hotel at about 5 pm. Arthur (Salvadore) and Billy (William Finn) arrived ahead of us. On our way to the Pont Champagne, we missed an exit and had to get back on the rather treacherous highway. It was snowing heavily, so it was hard to see where we were going. We got back on track in about 20 minutes. After settling in at the hotel, we headed out to dinner. We went to the Park Japanese Restaurant. I had read about it online. We got there about the time of our reservation (about 6:45pm). The restaurant was quite full with lots of well dressed young people. The design of the restaurant was awful. It looked fine, but the arrangement of the tables left no room to walk to your table without excusing yourself or bumping into the backs of chairs. The food was quite good, but we wouldn't go back here because of how uncomfortable the spatial arrangements were. See the previous entry and the following two entries.
