We thought
the majority of the Fiesta events were over last night so we decided to venture
into town to Casa Rio for lunch. Casa
Rio is the oldest restaurant along the River Walk. They have a huge area for outside seating but
it was so crowded out there that I couldn’t even get a picture of the outside
of the building. We opted for inside
seating and right now it is pretty calm in here. The menu here is authentic Mexican food which
is not as highly seasoned as the Tex-Mex food we are used to in Arizona. The meal was wonderful and I was really
impressed with the homemade tortillas.
There is a
parade this evening at 7:00. I took this
picture as we walked to the restaurant for lunch around noon. I guess if you want a really good seat for
the parade you bring your caution cones and orange safety fence and set up on
the median at the intersection of three streets.
I think the
colored umbrellas you can see looking over the bridge are some of the outside tables
at Casa Rio.
The gray
stacks on the sidewalk just ahead of the white car are stacks of chairs that
are chained and padlocked waiting to be rented to parade viewers later this
afternoon. There were stacks all along
this street. Lots of chairs are already
out with people claiming a prime spot.
The people
just past the line of white chairs have set up a big grill and coolers in the
bank drive through.
So much for
thinking things would be settled down today!!
We are headed home where it is quieter.
