Siete de Mayo

Hey guys,

It's actually been a busy last few days for me (Tamas is in town!!) so I have plenty of things to post about, but I thought I'd write this one up first, seeing as it's the one with an actual date attached.  More to come in the next few days!

Anyways, as the token decent Mexican restaurant in town, Iguana recognizes its awesome responsibility to hold a Cinco de Mayo party (this year, on Siete de Mayo).  And it comes through pretty hardcore.  We didn't show up until around 10 (the party started at I believe 3pm), but the place was packed:

 (DJ in the back, of course)

Not only that, but they closed off the street in front and had the whole block set up to party:

But, like I said, if you're the only Mexican restaurant in town, you have to make a good show of it, right?  They had bars set up under tents the length of the block, and had an outdoor grill going (made me feel bad about already having had dinner, but that's the subject for another post).  Margaritas were of course the drink of choice:

Yeah, I know Heather will give me crap about drinking frozen margaritas, but it was a street festival.  I stand by my decision

On another note, the drinks were pretty expensive for Hungary--900ft per drink, or about $5.  This actually kind of upset me, as I'm used to paying about a third of that for drinks, until I actually did the math and thought about it.  $5 drinks at a street festival?  In the States, I feel like you'd be lucky to get anything for less than $12.  Budapest is pretty cool like that :D
