Doing It Tough In La Paz

Our favorite restaurant is Rancho Viejo on Calle Manuel Pineda just around the corner from the apartment.

It is a large restaurant/bar on a hill with two levels, the upper level offering a deck with splendid views of La Paz bay from the city across to the El Magote peninsula.    The first time we visited the restaurant we were greeted by the staff like long lost friends  Tonight was our third visit and the manager beamed when he saw us, shook my hand, and I introduced Brenda to him.  On the way past the bar I asked for our usual Margaritas (on the rocks, with salt) then we sat ourselves at the premier table to enjoy the vie and feel like millionaires while we sipped our margaritas. 
Dinner at Rancho Viejo

We felt like beef rather than fish tonight so Brenda ordered a T-bone steak (muy bien cocidas) and I had a filet mignon (cocino medio raro) and mine was outstanding with the spicy sauce accompanying vegetables and hot tortillas.  Brenda enjoyed hers which had a nice charcoal flavor to it.

The entire meal including drinks cost 350 pesos, or about $30 Aussie dollars.
