everybody is sitting around now, full of mediocre mexican food. three of us are typing on our computers. i keep pointing out how odd it is that we sit here together, not talking, typing away, but nobody listens.
casa bonita was very fun. it was also kind of surreal, and very disneyland-six flags-like. we waited in a long twisting line to place our orders, and at the end, we received our trays of food, and were led to our little eating grotto by a host. the place is enormous, with different levels and many little rooms to eat in. ours was like a cave, with both the stalagtites and the stalagmites, plus right behind me was an opening to the waterfall above us.
here’s christine and me at our table:
there were, indeed, cliff divers, and i took a few photos of them, but they were too blurry. there was a person doing caricatures, and a mariachi band, and lots and lots of activity – even more so because it’s halloween weekend. there was a haunted house, and inside it was black bart’s hideout, which was very dark. i made christine walk in front of me, because it looked potentially scary, and sure enough, at the end a kid was lurking to jump out at us, but christine warned me so i had time to be prepared.
here’s what it looked like upstairs, although it’s a little fuzzy.
this photo came out best, one of the many halloween displays.
and here’s what it looked like outside. it’s funny, we watched the south park episode that featured casa bonita before going to the restaurant, and it was actually cooler than i thought it’d be.
whew. i’m too full to even want one piece of halloween candy. i took a walk up the road late this afternoon, and i kept going up and up, and after a while i felt a little light-headed all of a sudden. at least i moved around a little today, because i don’t think i’m going to be doing any more moving before morning.
one more photo! brendan and the darling little lucy.
ok then,
grace whooping it up here in denver.
