• Momentos by the Lake & Cowboys

    Momentos by the Lake is a quaint tapas place with outdoor seating on the lake. I had the Pulled Lamb Montaditos and the Beetroot and Leaves Salad, and another dirty martini. It was delicious. They had the gas heaters going so it stayed quite warm after the sun went down.

    It's a great place to people watch. I saw lovers licking "fruit cream" (ice cream or frozen yogurt base with fresh fruit added and then custom whirled in the blender), cute babies, hikers, children walking the wall, birds.

    Then I took a twirl through Cowboys, the American cowboy bull-riding bar. This bar seems to be a local favorite hangout. It was happy hour on a Monday night, and I was one of 6 people in the bar. I had to check it out. Nice to get some pictures without people there. Saw that they have line dancing lessons tomorrow night.

    I have an early morning tour, so I turned in early.
