Feliz Cumpleanos, Carla!

Paulina's niece, Carla, turned 9 the other day, and we were invited to join her family at Taco Land at the nearby mall to celebrate.
Alas, the dusty delivery motorcycle in the parking lot belied the demise of Taco Land: it is no longer.
We opted instead to eat at Los Arcos, a seafood chain, and I think we lucked out on this one!

Addison's meal - tortilla stuffed with shrimp, fish, and octopus, then fried, covered in a cream sauce, and topped with bacon bits.
Ahh, the birthday sombrero. 

Evidently, they see so few Gringos at this place that the manager paid us a visit and gave us a set of logo glassware as a welcome gift.

One of the simple cultural things I love about Mexico is that it is completely improper to place your purse on the floor. Here, Carla's brother, Josue, poses with the purse stand they bring to your table as you are seated.
