We had the usual hotel breakfast buffet. Anne asked about taping the Paul Kroll Dish Garden talk. While Ruth Goeke had a tape recorder, John and Judy Carter had a small movie cam and I took lots of still pics. I'm not sure about this for a library program. We went down to McDonalds for lunch, the usual chicken wrap and small fries. Went to the showroom and did some photography then rested before going down to the showroom to help the Nicholas's pack their plants and load up their car. They were traveling shortly after the banquet. We left for the Opera at 5:30 using the GPS to lead us to the Opera house. We parked underneath somewhere then walked to a small Thai restaurant called Pad Thai. We both ordered Chicken Pad Thai was excellent. Price was $25 for dinner. Nice. The opera was out of this world. It was an incredible delight with whimsical colors and light hearted dancing and excellent singing. This of course was Rossini's Italian in Algiers. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Got back to the hotel by 10:30.
