Jimmy's had to work all weekend with a Congressional delegation that came down on Thursday night. So I jumped at the chance to go with a big group of friends to Andres Carne de Res outside of town for a fun Saturday afternoon.
Andres is a Bogota institution - it's a huge restaurant that offers delicious traditional Colombian food plus really crazy, wacky, fun entertainment in the form of often weird roving performances. They have a great outside dining area that's right in the middle of the kids area, and that place is heaven for parents and kids alike. For about $6, your child can do any of the activities he wants (all within easy reach and sight of the parents). The activities are diverse and include woodworking, mask-making and painting, bracelet-making, facepainting, stilt-walking, soccer, basketball, cookie baking, rockclimbing, dancing, movies, and puppet shows. I don't know who has more fun - the kids or their parents - because the children are entertained and the parents actually get to enjoy a leisurely afternoon with friends without the constant "when are going to leave?" refrain.
Our group consisted of about 20 really fun and interesting people. Before I knew it, it was 5:30 in the afternoon (and we'd been there since 12:15)!
For a fun afternoon with good food and fun friends, I am truly thankful.
