I agree! Great quality to have. I tend to develop a lazy eye and overactive eyebrows when I drink too much

Well what i saw was she was just allover Kim (grabbing her breasts and stuff!) when I walked up, she looked like a little kid messing with people to me. Maybe Kim or someone who saw more can add a little info.

Sunday February 19th




Woke up and Josh had the continental brekky at Fusion. I didn't want anymore bread...guess it was all that pizza I ate last night


Sadly we have to say goodbye to Doc and Harold today They have been great party buds and it has been a pleasure getting to know both of them. Good peeps they are!! Hugs to both of ya


I am sad that they have to go, so I go get some push cart tacos to help cheer me up.


For those newbies who still don't know what these are...go get some down by the bus station!






Josh has to do some homework, so I went to hang with Kim, Susie, Jan, Eric and their visiting niece and nephew at a beach club just south of Luna Encantada. Can't remember the name, but it was perfect. Chatted a little, talk about tentative dinner plans for tonight at El Bistro



Josh comes down after a couple of hours and he is hungry-well I guess!! You have only had bread this morning dude!


We head off down fifth hoping Byblos is open. Been wanting to try them for lunch. Nope-not open...hmmm. Well then to Las Cazuelas to try the paella...nope not open. It is Sunday I guess and it's a little early for lunch.

Josh is getting ready to fall over from hunger, so I just pick the next place I see. Turns out to be Il Baretto on the corner of 5th and 26th.

It is a great people watching spot and there is a whole huge table inside filled with people from Indiana! We don't run into too many of us down here, so that was cool to chat with some fellow Colts fans!


I order the Gorgonzola ravioli and it was delicious!




Josh orders the cheeseburger...it was just ok. I reminded him that it's an Italian place, better to order what they do well, but he wanted a cheeseburger.



Cool oil and vinegar bottle




Back down to the beach to check in with the gang and Kirbyfan and his wife stop in. They had just gone to the Chinese place and weren't too sure how they were gonna feel later...ruh row. They turned out to be fine thank goodness!
Kim and Kenny invited us to their condo for some cocktails and then to dinner at El Bistro tonight YAY! Sounds great! What a sweet thang

Back to the Fusion for another snack. Shrimp tacos-they were fantastic!



Libby as always isn't too far away



Here are some pictures of the bar what it looks like now









Off to have another nap...


Kim and Kenny's condo is very nice, we fix some drinks and head up to the rooftop for an amazing view! (sorry no pics)



Back down to the patio overlooking fifth




Then OH NO!! THE LIGHTS GO OUT!. Complete blackout in our area. We look down and can't see any lights North. WAY down fifth we can see some lights... What the heck are we gonna do?





Easy pour more tequila shots!





Kim and Kenny were in a condo with card locks, we thought we were gonna be stuck! But luckily the locks are battery operated. After a bit we decide to venture out and start heading toward the restaurant, the lights came on right as we hit fifth... Everyone was just going about their business, people still sitting in restaurants, bars, there was no freakking out


Off to El Bistro for a fantastic meal!




This dip they serve at El Bistro is phenomenal...it's not hummus. Think warm mushroom creama, mmmmmm.




Filet




Sexy crepes and sexy coffee!!





Kim has a much better picture of them making the sexy coffee! Maybe she will add it here




They took very good care of us here, it was a wonderful dinner! Wonderful company!





So we are walking off dinner and someone mentions the bondage bar Can't remember who, but off we go


We sit down to have some drinks, again, Kim has more pictures of the bar. Before long someone comes along and we get a tour!


Kenny a little apprehensive turning the corner






We see several 'theme' rooms this one makes you feel like you are on the beach with a lot of hot young chicas!


This one had all grass walls



Kinda feels like you are in a submarine...dark, red lights



Josh steps in the shower, feeling dirty hon?






Dark place with lots of beautiful wood…not my type of place, but it was fun getting the tour with our bunch!

Off to bed…oh yea not before Josh wants another beer and a shot. 2:00 AM in bed

A'
The mushrooms came with it, it was really good. Not a very large portion, but I like that...just means I can fit more in later at a different restaurant. It was 120 pesos. But it's on 5th. It was better than Util's four cheese ravioli (that one had no mushrooms) but was also more $$ I think Util's four cheese gnocchi was 90 pesos. (Util has no real ambiance) Now I didn't have the gorgonzola sauce at Util. Honestly the cheese sauce at Util was just a tad grainy to me, but that is just me being picky. It had awesome flavor. I would have a hard time ordering anything but the lasagna when I went back to Util!

I guess I will need to do a summary of what I like where and compare at the end of this report. That might make it a little less confusing. I haven't even made it to Era Ora yet in this report! That's tomorrow


EDIT: I had the fours cheese GNOCCHI at Util, not ravioli. Guess i gotta go back!
