Last weekend, Peter's first whole weekend home from CSU, we took a trip to NYC to see American Ballet Theatre's La Bayadere. We hit no traffic so arrived with plenty of time to check out a farmer's market near Lincoln Center. We bought some lavender from Long Island and some apple cider from upstate NY, but most of the time was spent selecting mini-pies...
Peter and Anna humored me and let me take their photo in front of the fountain, which was actually a nice place to be in the heat of the day...
The performance itself was a mixed bag. We specifically went to see Julie Kent as Nikiya, but she had clearly not bounced back from having a baby last year. Jose Manuel Carreno as Solor, however, was fantastic, as was the corp member, Hee Seo, who played Gamzatti. We're thinking she'll move up in rank to a soloist soon.
We went to Josephina's for dinner (our usual)....
Peter noticed we had 2 salts but no pepper on the table, so he "encouraged" Anna to trade one of our salts for the pepper on an adjacent table...
The waiter apparently saw this, because the next time he walked by, he very casually took the extra salt off that table, and put it back on ours...
Peter and Anna thought this was hysterical. We had a great, LONG day, but at least Peter and Anna had a restful car-ride home...
