Casa González: one of the patios from a balcony


Sept. 28, 2007

The Shrimp Ceviche a la Casa González was delicious! After dinner we walked down Independencia to the Metropolitan where a crowd was watching people stroll down the pink carpet, "wedding albums" in hand. We asked an official-looking guy if the stars had arrived (yes, they had) and if we could still get tickets (no, we could't). Ever the persistent ones, we hung around until we saw a woman apparently handing out more invitations; we made eye contact, she asked if we would like to go in, they strapped a pink bracelet around our wrists, and there we were, in the front section, waiting for Adam Sandler and Kevin James to be introduced and the movie to begin. And it was funny! The interior of the Metropolitan is rather grand, with corinthian columns and big Greek-like statues, a bit like Radio City Music Hall, a fine setting for a premiere.
