night out on the town

Yesterday, Grady finally got his anatomy exam grade. He made a B (there were no As given; Grady had one of the highest scores in the class; many people failed). Grady, like most medical students, had been feeling stressed this week. The good news of his exam grade provided such relief. We decided to celebrate with a "night out on the town".
We had dinner at a taco hut a few blocks from our apartment (I use the term "hut" literally). Although the waitress tried to entice us with pig tongue or cow brain tacos, Grady and I settled for beef (as least that's what we think it was). We made a pact to eat light in case we got sick. This morning we woke up feeling fine so I guess we're in the clear. Our meal was $3 each and very good.
On our walk home from the taco hut, we were chased down the street by a group of adorable school children with improvised musical instruments (one boy had a basketball and stick that was his drum set). They offered to play a song for us. Wise to their scheme, I asked how much it would cost. We agreed on one peso (about a dime). They played their instruments and sang La Bamba while Grady and I clapped and smiled. We gave them TWO pesos for such a good job. They thanked us profusely and ran off to find someone else to play for.
What a night!
