Merry Christmas! Since we were staying in Mexico this holiday season we decided to make the best of it. A traditional 
Xmas eve dinner is tamales. So Luc said he would treat me to a nice dinner at the Hotel Nikko in Polanco. After wishing our families a Merry Xmas, we headed to dinner around 8:30. We've never seen the streets so empty! As it turns out, the Hotel Nikko restaurants are mostly Asian and wouldn't have the traditional Mexican fare. So we went next door to the Intercontinental Hotel. There were only serving turkey dinners so that was out too. The concierge told us that all of the restaurants close at 6pm on holidays like Christmas Eve. Looks like we didn't get the memo! We figured the Camino Real would have something in their cantina, but again, it was turkey and fish. After it was obvious that tamales weren't in our future, we decided to hit up Le Cirque. They had a fixed price Christmas menu that was a great deal. Each course was a piece of art that was delicious. Luc discovered "ponche" in his desert, which is a traditional Mexican drink (served w/and w/o alcohol) that's served at Christmas. Yum! We had to get to bed early because we had an early flight to La Paz in Baja California.
