This will be a three-part post.
Our daughter Allie brought her boyfriend Corey here for a long weekend visit. Julia had met Corey before during a San Francisco visit, but it was my first chance to "assess" the young man.
Turns out he is very polite, nice, and even enjoys Guinness. After arriving late on Thursday night, they had to both work remotely on Friday. We celebrated the end of their work week by going out to dinner at Amelia's, a well-known local Mexican restaurant.
Julia splurged at Amelia's by ordering the molcajete mixto, a shareable dish served in a heated volcanic rock mortar, filled with grilled meats, seafood, vegetables (nopalitos), and a bubbling, flavorful sauce.
There were a lot of leftovers.
A good deal of time over the next two days were spent on the trails working off this dinner. More to come.

Oh man! That brought back some - well let's forego the adjectives and just call them memories. The first time I met the Wife's parents her dad arrived home from a swing-shift after we had all gone to bed. He stopped outside the room we were staying in and I heard him through the closed door say "They're both sleeping in the same room?!" Mind you, we'd both already had failed marriages under our belts. But yeah - - that was an awkward breakfast the next morning - -
Yes, I imagine that was awkward for your father-in-law. That was a different generation. Allie seems very happy, and that's really all I can ask.
