Thurs evening

We trotted out into town to find some food, wine & entertainment. Doug had read about a bar called Manny & Merle which was about 5 blocks away & which was good for food, beer & music. We found it without any problem & we were allocated a very enthusiastic waiter. The problem was that he was new to the job & knew nothing. We ordered local  draught beer for Doug  & bottle of red wine plus some guacamole & savoury chips. A can of beer arrived, the food arrived & then a glass of wine for me. Eventually after discussion with the manager,  the waiter said that we could have a bottle of wine. However, when it arrived it was 1.5L which we said no to. The food was tasteless, the wine not available & the beer not quite what Doug had in mind. It all just made us laugh so we consumed what we had & left. We travelled only 4hrs today but it is worlds apart from either N Y or Chicago.

Tomorrow is another day & hopefully the sun is going to shine, so things old be worse. Good night. Louise xx
