Little Black

"Did you just say real hot chocolate?" I asked incredulously, "with cows milk, sugar, cocoa powder, and without a Swiss Miss on the label?" Roy smiled mischievously, "and they have banana pancakes too" he said. "I think you've been drinking too much pijiu" I retorted. "Come on. You and Percy really need to see this place! The Migratory Bird is great!" Roy exclaimed before leaving Percy and I to decide if we really wanted to leave the warmth of our heated bed pads. Ultimately curiosity got the better of us and we popped out of our rooms bundled in down to find the much lauded Migratory Bird Bar. We rounded a corner and entered an unassuming hole in the wall only to be greeted by "Little Black" the cutest puppy on the planet. With his kitten sisters, Little Black is the ambassador of the Migratory Bird Bar. The place, despite it's initial humble appearance, is less bar and more Swiss chalet. Diana Krall and Lyle Lovett croon over the stereo system, the views are more stellar than even the North Cascades (a bold statement I know), there are comfortable chairs, artwork covering the walls, and yes, really outstanding hot chocolate and banana pancakes. The Migratory Bird Bar might just be my favorite place on earth. And as an added bonus, the proprietor, Chiaoyang, has been a tireless advocate for the Puli School. A website for the Migratory Bird Bar is below. It's all in Chinese but the pictures are pretty.
