Music School Orchestra ~ A Night on the Town

Tuesday night we went with Alex and Sue to the La Paz Music School's Orchestra performance at the old theatre in town.



Tickets were a whopping $20 pesos each ($1.54 US).


We stopped for a drink and appetizer on the way at Tequila's.



Then the walk through town.



And then a wonderful concert!
Jim and I really didn't expect much, but they were great!
The first violin player was a 15 year old and was amazing!And, are you ready for another installment of "Heather and Jim's Small World"?
Jim ran into Lulu (Ricardo's sister, we went to her law school graduation party, her son fished off our boat with Ricardo's boys) in the lobby and her son, Daniel played percussion in the orchestra!
So we got to see the whole family after the performance.
Again, how cool to go to something like that and it ends up we have a friend who is in the orchestra?



Then off to the parrot bar for a cocktail, where we had Sue pose like a dork tourist.





Then a few pics of the exterior of Tequila's just because.








Just because it is cool.

And it looked like someone who had math homework used their wall for scratch paper.

An Artist, A Ballerina and Six Cuban Students

I have no idea what that means.
None at all, but it came out of Alex's mouth when we were doing our second wine tasting.
The conversation must have been interesting.
Or not.
This time it was the Antares array of fine Chilean vinos.Oops, did I say fine?
I meant inexpensive.
Inexpensive at $62 pesos / approx. $4.70 US a bottle.

So after the ladies lunch, Sue and I hiked up the street to the really nice vino store as we only had one of the four bottles required on hand.
A little detour at the bar at across the street where another edition of "Heather's Small World" happened.
Met the mother and step-father of Darrin from G-Dock.
And that's a story in itself that all the G-Dockers will relate to.
We'll skip it for now.

Back to "Meerkat" where we had some lovely cheese and crackers along with my homemade sourdough bread.
Yum!
And the wines.
We think the Sauvignon Blanc was the winner in the white division and the Merlot definitely took the reds.

Of course conversation turned strange - read the post title to boats and people we both know.
One boat and couple being Tony and Peggy of "Comanche" (and whatever their new boat's name is) who are also now on G-Dock in Ventura.
Alex and Sue said that Peggy would always end up getting a mini wine glass at Rancho Viejo (happened to me before too).
So we took this photo for her and emailed it from Alex and Sue's email account and our email account pretty much at the same time.Notice the Peggy size wine glass...
Asked her what was missing in the photo...
Meaning her (and Tony!).
Haven't heard back yet.
Either she is trying to figure out who the hell we are or how the hell can she get rid of us.
