Senor Toucan's

August 15th
D., A., and I had an evening when we were "baching" it, so we headed up to Senor Toucan's. This is a little Latin American restaurant not too far from where we live. As its name attests, the decorations in the place consist mainly of wooden statues of toucans and other tropical birds hanging from the ceiling. I had the grilled steak soft tacos. They weren't too bad although the meat could have been a little more tender. A. said Senor Toucan's has the best quesadillas around.

The restaurant had two guitar players strolling through the dining room. When they stopped by our table I told them that A. had been studying Spanish for 5 years. The three of them proceeded to carry on a conversation that neither D. nor I understood. At the end they all laughed as if sharing a mutual joke, which they probably were. The musicians then played a song A. had sung in his Spanish class the previous year. Considering that Senor Toucans is just a little out-of-the-way Mexican restaurant in Howard County, the musicians sang and played very well.

We all gave them a round of applause at the end of their song.
