Mariachi Cobre and the Symphony

Last night was a wonderful evening. We went to dinner at a delicious Thai restaurant. Following that we proceeded to a symphony concert with a guest ensemble called Mariachi Cobre from Orlando and EPCOT Center. The concert was Mexican themed, and the symphony orchestra accompanied the 12-piece mariachi band which consisted of various guitars, violins/fiddles, and trumpet, and all members singing as well. It was very lively, upbeat and happy beautiful music. I really enjoyed it! Its been while since I've attended a syphony concert - I'd like to start going more often. Another perk was we got in for FREE! When I got up to the ticket window to buy our tickets, the man there said to take two that some people had just left, and he didn't charge us. That was a extra nice surprise! After the concert we went to a wine bar for a while in Southside swhich had a nice atmosphere for conversation, and wasn't too noisy or smoky inside.

Tonight was another fun evening of hanging out, pizza, and a karioke game. Back to the work week tomorrow morning though.
