Empacadores!!!

Immediately after the win against the Bears, I started working on changing my plans. My flight back to Mexico would have left me on a bus during the Superbowl, which was not going to cut it. I got my flight changed and made it back at 2am Sunday morning. In time to see the Packers in the Superbowl with the family... we were excited!

We had watched all the playoff games in the same restaurant, el Retiro, a few blocks from our house, and it was mostly empty for all of the games. However this was the Superbowl, and I was a little nervous about our plans. I sent Maurice down to el Retiro an hour and a half before kickoff to make sure there was space. Maurice came back with a disturbing question, "Do we have reservations?" Well, no of course we didn't. He said that the restaurant was filled and the table that we watched all the other games at (the big table with the best view of the TV) was "Reservado".

Imagine my concern! Travel all this way to get shut out! As I walked in to look for any options, the owners ushered us right to the reserved table. As it turned out, they must have anticipated our return for the big game, and reserved a table for us!! It really made us feel good, and was the start to an AWESOME evening! GO Empacadores!!!
