A Five Minute Taxi Ride To Go 60 Feet

We met Sam and Anne for dinner tonight to go to one of our favorite places - Cafe Iberico. This is a Spanish restaurant in their neighborhood which has really good tapas, and amazing desserts. It's one of our top dining spots.

Sam and Anne's house is in a walled-off neighborhood called Barrio Aldea, and their house is at the very end. They also have a back door, which goes out to the street that Cafe Iberico is on. It's like living in two different places in town at the same time.

A locksmith came by today to make the back door more secure. We met Anne at her house, and then exited the back door to go to Cafe Iberico, where we met Sam. After dinner, we walked back to their back door, where they discovered the locksmith had made their door so secure that they couldn't get back in. So we hailed a cab coming up the street, and we piled in to take the journey to their front door. Given the layout of the neighborhood, it literally took us five minutes to get to their front door.

I think that's the record for the longest cab ride to go the shortest distance.
