Ok, so I know I just wrote a novel that you are going to dread reading and be pissed that I am writing more, but today was eventful as well. Luckily, this update will be much shorter. And maybe the timing of these posts is a bit awkward since I’m writing them at the same time, and neither of them will get posted until I have internet tomorrow (9/21/09).
Anyways, we had made a date with Christian to eat lunch at Yea Yea Marucayea. Apparently this is a quaint art gallery/café/hookah lounge. However, when we got to the plaza to head over to the café, what do we find? Well, a parade of course! Although, what this was for, we have no idea. There was a cool giant float of a pig wearing a swine flu mask, a giant guinea pig, the traditional Inca dressed people, and a large amount of different military organizations all in garb and marching in perfect unison. So after snapping the mandatory parade pictures, we head over to the café. In the rain. And what do we find, but closed and locked doors. And no Christian. (big surprise). So we decide to eat at a really cool restaurant called The Muse. They have a really great menu (men-oo, not menu. A men-oo is a cheap set menu with a couple options, but it comes with usually a starter, a drink, an entrée, and in the case of The Muse, a warm brownie for dessert). The menu at The Muse is a bit swanky but we decided it was worth it for the delicious avocado salad, and chicken curry (for me, Amanda had chili con carne) and of course the brownie.
This place is very low key, and we chose to eat in the relaxation part of the restaurant which consists of couches with no less than 6 giant pillows on each one and coffee tables for your food. So as we waited for our food, I took a nice little nap on the couch. A pleasant afternoon.
Full of food and tired we returned home, napped, and now here I am, sitting in bed, telling you all about it.
Oh yeah, and we were really excited about making tacos tonight but Amanda just got home from Mega (the supermarket) and said they had no avocados. So sad. No tacos. Maybe chicken from the polleria down the street?
At least there is a new episode of True Blood to look forward to!
