Australian Fiesta!

On Saturday night, Caitlin was suffering from some serious Chips 'n Salsa withdrawal (Mexican restaurants are about as common here as Rugby games are in the states, they exist, but no one but a chosen few knows about them. . .), so we decided to go looking for a good Mexican restaurant.  We found a place online that said their head chef/founder guy spent 20 years in California cooking Mexican food, and wanted to bring that home to Sydney, and they had cheap Corona, so it sounded like the place to go.

We hopped on a bus, since the restaurant was a couple miles away from the waterfront, and let me tell you, it was freezing outside, probably 60 degrees with constant 20mph+ winds.  We arrived at the restaurant, already kind of cold (Caitlin didn't bring any shoes other than her hiking shoes!), and wouldn't you know it, the only table they had available were outside in the beer garden. . .oh well, bring on the chips 'n salsa!

So, as a review of their food, the chips 'n salsa was the best part of the meal.  If this chef spent 20 years cooking Mexican food in CA for 20 years, then either he can't get the right spices in Australia, or else he forgot what Mexican tastes like.  Oh well, at least the chips 'n chipotle salsa delicious!

We can't wait to get some Chipotle when we get home!  It's the little things you miss when you're away. . .
