We went out for drinks and then dinner. We left our hotel and checked out restaurants as we walked between the historic building and on streets paved with ancient stones. Several blocks away there is a street with tables set up in it in front of restaurants housed in colonial buildings. A park with a sculpture of Cervantes lines the opposite side and a colonial church walls the other side of the park. The parks are full of young lovers, children playing, and people milling around. We chose to sit at one of the tables in the street for drinks and decided we would dine in a intimate upscale little place we had passed.
Well, 2 beers, a glass of GREAT Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon, a variety appetizer plate with yummy guacamole, salsa, chips, tostadas, and a little corn meal treat all came to $10. The place was complete with street musicians and a flamingo dancer inside the restaurant. I was watching through the window and the waiter came up and offered his arm and escorted me inside. He had a great personality.
It was about 9:30 when we went to dinner at the little restaurant in the historic building. Keith had chili rellenos and I had a soup that was made with corn meal and had little cubes of polenta in it....both delicious.
Then, back to the hotel and bed.
