That night we went to a Mexican restaurant across the street.  May of the restaurants along this stretch of the main street are owned by the same company and we can put the meals on our room.  How convenient.  A mariachi group showed up to play…they were very clear, they play for tips.  So, we tipped and got a mini-concert.
