Tuesday evening a group of expats met at a local Italian restaurant for mingling, sipping a drink and enjoying dinner. Later we met at yet another great hangout -- the Inca Lounge -- and played trivia with people we've met and competitors we had not met. Out of five teams we came in a solid tie for 4th place :) Good fun.
We learned there is a Mall del Rio here on the South edge of the city. After visiting with Diego at the Art Gym health club here, we hopped a taxi and went to see what the mall was all about. Wow! I was really impressed with the entire place. In addition to countless specialty stores, we discovered...
- a 3-screen cinema with at least one movie in English with Spanish sub-titles.
- a "fun center" with Kinect and other video games, as well as a 6-lane bowling alley.
- a very high end restaurant with complete bar service and white tablecloth quality
- a Hyundai dealership right in the mall
- a Yamaha cycle and ATV center
- a huge, modern food court with local food as well as KFC, Burger King (too bad our fast food is here!), a Chinese restaurant and more -- all set in a classy style with ample, comfortable seating.
Here are a few pictures and videos.
Or watch a movie in English.
This evening we're going to visit with a travel and tour group to learn about the hot springs in Banos and the zip line adventure.
