I Thought It Was A Mural

Pic1-776056.jpgMost of the restaurants in Ajijic are indoor-outdoor restaurants. That's one of our favorite things about the area. I love eating outside. Pampa Tango's, one of the fine Argentinean restaurants in Ajijic...great beef...is covered with a palapa roof. Palapas are those palm-thatched umbrellas you're used to seeing in the tropics.

However, there is a bit of space, as you can see in the picture, where the palapa roof ends and the trees begin. It was hard to get a picture of the clouds...but the moon was full and the clouds had a faint outline around them. It was really beautiful. We were all talking about the sky when all of a sudden Fleming said, "That's the sky...the real sky...it's open? I thought it was a mural!"

And, then this dear man and his darling wife re-enacted the moment so I could take advantage of a Kodak moment. They're truly good sports, and we laughed about it through the rest of the dinner. We really enjoyed Fleming and Katt...they had a joy for life that was quite infectious. They were a lot of fun to be around.
