Feast for Tummy and Eyes

Lunch at Efrain's Mexican Restaurant and Cantina in Lafayette, Colorado was hot and delicious. The chile they prepare reminds me of my mother's. I had a smothered burrito with green and red chile. The green was a #10 which means it is extremely hot and the red is a bit milder but still has a spicy bite to it. I had the waiter all to myself because other than two tables outside with customers I was the only person inside. I felt like a queen being waited on because he could not do enough for me. Yes, I left him a 20% tip! Around 4 p.m. people were beginning to arrive and the parking lot had more cars than when I arrived at 2:45 p.m.

I ate and read, which are two of my favorite things. Could I have asked for anything more? In between eating and reading I chatted with the waiter. I had stopped in Lafayette on my way to Longmont to listen to Mariachi Vasquez who was giving a free concert at the Longmont Museum. While I was in the restaurant a rain storm had passed over Lafayette. Everything smelled fresh and clean as I drove around Lafayette and looked at some of the sculptures scattered around the town.

I saw a white angel, a small vixen, (female fox), a boy in the moon reading, a dragon and a Native American doing a sky dance.

The Scarlet Rose looked like an interesting house with all it's pink paint and  bows. I made a note to visit it if I am ever in Lafayette again. I got on Highway 187 toward Longmont where I would enjoy some Mariachi music. Not only did the city of Lafayette give me something to blog about but, in my mind, I was already thinking of my blog for tomorrow. It would be about the Vasquez family and their music.
