IN: As we sat on the outdoor patio we saw a huge tractor pull up and park on the street right across from the resto , and as the man go out 2 other men sitting at a table behind me started shouting teasing greetings to him . I do n't know if this had been a planned meeting or coincidence , but the man with the tractor came and sat down at the table with his 2 friends and they ordered another carafe of wine .
