Holiday Tea at the Adolphus was wonderful. This was our second time to meet here, the last time was in 2003. As you can see from the number in attendance, this is a very popular event. Tea is held in the lobby of this beautiful old, historic hotel. We sat on sofas and tea was served on the coffee tables. Our tea captain informed us it was perfectly proper to put our plate on our lap to eat since the table was so low. We had three courses, starting with tea sandwiches, then a raisin scone with Yorkshire cream and fresh strawberry marmalade and then an assortment of desserts. We drank several wonderfully exotic teas. Everyone was dressed very elegantly.
