Santana & Contortionists

Bobby & I had an eventful Tuesday night...
After work, we met up to try out a new restaurant: Maria Maria. It is downtown at 5th and Colorado. Carlos Santana owns it, and you can definitely see his cool rockin' influence everywhere. The place is nice...smaller than I expected. It seemed like there was a lot of wasted space in the bar area...room for several more tables. But I think openness is what they are striving for. I can see it being a hotspot at night, full of people standing in the open areas socializing & drinking.
Even though I know you are all curious, I am not going to do a full review on our dining experience. During dinner last night, Bobby decided he is going to write a full review and post it on yelp and Google. I will link to his full review here….so you’ll have to check back. Safe to say....it won't be "glowing."

After dinner we headed to the Long Center to see Cirque Jungle....apparently along with everyone else in Travis County. It was about 7:00p and traffic in that area was completely outrageous. We eventually parked at Zilker Park and took a nice long stroll to the LC. We made it in time, but they started the show late because of "high traffic due to several events going on in the area."
Cirque Jungle was amazing!!!! I have never been to a Cirque de Soleil show, but Bobby has and said they are pretty much the same. That show really made me want a jump rope, and a trip to Vegas.
The crazy-ass contortionists were by far my favorite part of the show....they were dead on as lizards. It is completely bizarre what those tiny people can do to their bodies. It is as if they don't have bones in their bodies...absolutely crazy! Definitely worth seeing!!
The show lasted about 2 hours with one intermission.
We got home about 10:30p exhausted from our eventful night......and we still had to pack for our road trip across Texas......
