After our day of white water rafting, we went to watch the sunset at Barba Roja… guess we were trying to wrap up our “day of Oropeza”… as Barba Roja is owned by Arturo’s brother Jorge and his longtime partner Heather.
While there was not exactly a sunset… it was not raining… which this time of year is considered a win.
Here is a cute picture of Nancy and Clive...
Kurt and Linda joined us, and Kurt brought some of the strange fruit that he eats regularly… just one of the many interesting fresh fruits around here. Don’t know what it is called…but is seems to go well with beer.
This is how you eat this fruit...and yes, I think making that face is required...
By the time the sun set, it started to sprinkle and we decided to head elsewhere for dinner. We went to a new restaurant that opened the weekend I was in San Salvador, where a friend of mine bartends. Unfortunately, the restaurant did NOT have it together, and despite the fact that there were only about 6 people in the whole place, it took us well over an hour and a half to get our food. Darren (my favorite chef in town) was also there, and couldn’t sit still because he was so bothered by the inefficiency he saw in the kitchen. I am not going to mention the name of this restaurant, as I am hoping they pull it together by high season...but if things don’t turn around quickly, they are going to be closed in a year. If not sooner.
Which, if I move back here as planned….could be good for my waist line. Though gallo pinto and Kapi Kapi would still be around, so I am not sure that would help.
