Got my kicks at Route 66

I had told a friend about a bar called Route 66 on the N17 outside of Arganil on the road to the border. I had settled down to watch a TV program and i was half way through it when i was called to go out. We went to the Route 66, last time it hadn't opened long and it was not very busy but what do you expect when something new opens.

Tonight was great Steve and Mandy were singing and i must admit it was professional were i expected a lot less. It was one of the best nights i have had since i came here nearly two years ago. Many of the audience also sang and they were very good, i was very shocked as i expected them to be like you hear in pubs in the UK.

After a while a group of young Portuguese people came in all aged in the early 20's and not the age group you would expect to enjoy the type of music played. One of the Portuguese asked for Mambo 5 to be played little did he know that he would end up on stage singing it. It really was a good night.
