On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, David had to open his bar, so unfortunately we couldn't really take much advantage of those days. On Friday, he ran errands to get supplies for the weekend while I lazed around a little bit. When he opened the bar, we were there, talking and hanging out with everyone, I mean it was like being at a bar with friends, just with the difference that my husband owned it and I got to drink for "free". Haha. We were supposed to go out dancing with David's cousin and some of her friends on Friday night for someone's birthday, but unfortunately that fell through because of the birthday boy's unexpected work obligations. Oh well....next time....!
On Saturday it was more of the same. I joined David on his trip to pick up more stuff for the bar/restaurant. Then we came back to open the bar. At one point I was really hungry, and we FINALLY headed around the corner to our *PORK CHOP TACO!* place! It's a small stand that's only open on Saturday and Sunday, and the Sunday I got in, we tried to go, but it had closed already. So we waited ALL WEEK for Saturday and finally went with Oscar to get my favorite tacos de chuleta. You guys, they are soooo good. So....I was pretty happy about that!
After the tacos, we went back to the bar for a little bit. Things were a little slow, and David ended up closing right at 1:00....and then those of us who were still there headed a few blocks down for a street party that was going on! It was a lot of fun. We drank, danced, danced some more, drank some more. Then we headed back to the house and met up with some guys hanging out in front of the Abarrotes down the street from David's house. We talked, we laughed, they made me say stuff in Spanish and we laughed some more. All in all, it was a great night, lots of fun and we were all able to let loose.
On Sunday...well, let's just say we were all out very late on Saturday night. Sunday was a late start. But we opened the bar again. Business was steady, but there were a couple potential troublemakers there that night. David did a great job handling them, I will say. They kept trying to pick fights with people. Obviously, David could take them on easily. But 1) he's not going to put himself in that position, and 2) he's risking retaliation at his home/business if he does. So he kind of talked them down a little bit (it was actually only one of the two guys that was acting that way) and then ended up closing early (i.e. kicking them out). Turns out this guy still had his "I'LL FIGHT ANYONE!" attitude on the street....which ended up in him getting his butt kicked! Not by anyone involved with the bar, just to let you know. And I can't believe I was upstairs this whole time and heard and saw NOTHING! I'm so bummed I missed out on a real Mexican street fight XD
Anyway, once the bar was closed up and locked up, I went back downstairs, and hung out with David, the girls that work for him (Racquel and Red), and Oscar and Alma. We just sat around talking and listening to music for a while until everyone finally drifted out and went home.
