On Monday Alejandro's father, Pedro, celebrated his 86th birthday. He generally doesn't like to leave the house. However, occasionally we will drag him out to go to a restaurant for dinner, and he does seems to enjoy it.
After Alejandro's nephew got home from school, the four of us got in the car and went to pick up Alejandro's sister, Sandra, at work. We then continued on to Colonia Nápoles to a seafood restaurant called De Costa a Costa. Alejandro and I have had breakfast there many times (it's only a couple of blocks from the apartment), but we have never had dinner there since I don't care for shellfish. However, everyone else really likes seafood, so we decided to go there.
Everyone was very satisfied with their meals. I had salmon lasagna which was very good.
After dinner we drove through rush hour traffic back to the family house. Sandra, Alejandro and I then went to a bakery to buy a birthday cake. We got a chocolate blackberry cake.
Of course, we sang "Las Mañanitas", the traditional Mexican birthday song. The dogs joined in and nearly drowned out our singing.
