Sept. 3--Loving the Halifax Hotel!

We are really enjoying our time at the Halifax Hotel these days. The first week we were here, we were the only family. This was sort of nice as we were able to ease into being a family of four at a calm hotel. And then we had a treasured week with Alma and her family. Lucia still misses her. Now it is hoppin! And we love it. It is so nice for Lucia to have more children to play with. Today, there were 6 children in the courtyard. From what we understand, there will be 4 more coming over the next few days. And two are girls, ages 4 and 6. We can't wait.

Today was low-key. We walked to Parque 93 in a light drizzle so we could go out for lunch. Looking at the picture below, any guesses what restaurant?!
McDonalds! This is the nicest McDonalds I have ever been to. This is the McCafe. Since we are in an affluent area, most things here are nice. It was very different to see adults dressed in business casual clothing choosing to eat at McDonalds. We actually looked at one another and laughed, wondering if we were dressed up enough to eat at McDonalds. Who does that?
Tucked in the back was the kids area. I ate a great hamburger called the the McNifica (wish they had this in U.S.) Brian enjoyed a Quarter Pounder. And Lucia had a Super Cajita Feliz (Happy Meal)...came in a gigantic box, but was just a normal portion. Interesting and fun!
