Adult Night - Music and Pizza

I've been trying to take advantage of everything San Miguel has to offer, and there's so much going on that it's impossible to do it all. One thing we've not really dived into is the music scene here. The San Miguel Blues and Jazz festival has been going on for the past week, and Saturday night was the last night with a Motown and Funk band concert, so it was a perfect excuse for us to go out. Plus, some other families were going too, which made a great opportunity for a fun evening.

First stop was the concert. We drove in with Jim and Adriana, and once there hooked up with Sam and Anne-from-Baltimore, Roger and Rosanna (two cool parents from our school), and a couple of other families. The music was really good, and we were able to buy bottles of wine and enjoy them from our seats. There was an intermission after the first act, and then a local band called Pila Seca played. The did a few covers, and some original songs too, and I was pleasantly surprised how good they were. Roger, Sue and Adriana even got up to dance for the last song.

Next stop was dinner, as the adults were hungry and needing a cushion for the red wine. Roger suggested Mare Nostrum, an Italian place we had been once before. About 11 of us arrived there, and we had a great group eating pizza and drinking a little more.

Roger and Rosanna are an interesting couple I wish we had gotten to get to know better sooner. They met in San Miguel 30 years ago when they were eighteen or nineteen. Roger is American, and Rosanna is Mexican, and they made it work in spite of the immediate language and cultural differences. They have been living in San Miguel ever since. They have one daughter, who is in Bryce and Laurel's class.

After enjoying our Pizzas, we had a final stop at one of the hip bars in town called Bezzito. This is a side of San Miguel we haven't really seen. There are actually a lot of young Mexican adults in town, and they have to have places to go too. The bar is beautiful, with an indoor waterfall, and a glass covered creek on the upper deck that seems to flow from a flame. They have a great view from the deck. I would have liked to stay longer, but this wasn't Sue's scene, and I had kept her out late anyway, so we departed gracefully and got a taxi home.

We had a really fun time, with some really great people. Unfortunately, this may be our last date night before we leave in two weeks :(
