5/24/2013 Hard Rock Cafe

     What a great end to the day!
      We had two classes at the Institute then a Spanish class.  They decided to do away with the Friday class because the people who are new and need the help can't come in the daytime.  So that will free up a couple of hours for us on Friday.  At today's class Reed did a dance for us from the "Hannah Montana" movie.  He is just such a breath of fresh air!  As long as he is no longer looking for things with Miley Cyrus in... We will miss the class with the Marinos.
     Got home just in time to go pick up Ramish and Tamilia Shrestha for dinner.  They had wanted to go to the Hard Rock Café before and we hadn't been able to so we trekked down to the Colonial Zone for dinner.  The Café is right by the Plaza de Principal - the front part of a big, old church.  We had seen it in the light but lit up at night was just amazing.  I love all of these old buildings!

Funny thing is I have thought Ramish was their last name all this time.  Their last name is acutually
Shrestha.  They are such a nice couple. Scott has wanted to send the missionaries by their house and could never get it arranged. So tonight as we were driving away from their apartment two sister missionaries were walking down the road. So he pulled over and waved them to come to the car.  They were just darling - full of life and so happy to meet the Shresthas.  They asked if they could come by and see them and they said yes.  So we will see what happens.  They are good friends and nice to be with.  He works for the United Nations and they will be transferring sometime so they are just waiting to see where they will be.  They have two sons and they are both in the United States working.
   Anyway sitting outside the café eating enabled us to see the Plaza and the people,  There were three men playing some kind of drums and lots of people sitting outside eating places. 
The ambiance there reminded me of when as a much younger person I was in Greece and Italy. 
Such a great night!
