Last night we went to the Riverwalk to get dinner. Unfortunately neither Laura nor I are huge fans of crowds, and the Riverwalk at night is packed with tourists. All the restaurants and bars were completely packed…and outdoor seating was pretty much out of the question. We ended up at a British pub called MadDog’s. I thought about getting the fish & chips, but service was so slow that I was afraid if they actually had to fry my dinner I’d never get it. So we both ended up getting BLT’s, which were actually really good (when they eventually came). After dinner we went to the hotel and went to bed fairly early because we were both exhausted and Laura had an early morning today.
Today we went back to the Riverwalk for lunch. This time we went to a place (Polermo’s) that had Mexican food. We got a great table literally right on the water. The food was really good, but the portions were huge. To make things better, in addition to the food we got a pitcher of sangria. Normally when you think of sangria you think of wine + fruit, right? Well this pitcher of sangria came with a three inch layer of melon liquor with normal wine/fruit sangria floating on top. We both got about three glasses of it. Needless to say, we had a great time. As we finished our lunch it started to rain, and we decided to wait it out sitting at our table under an umbrella, polishing off the pitcher of sangria.
Oh and while we were at the table Laura took a liking to a duck. She even shared her tortilla chips with it. Apparently she confused it for a dog, though, because she tried to make it jump up and get the chip. I think the duck attempted to jump, but from what I can tell ducks just aren’t that good at jumping.
