Hotel breakfast of the usual omelet. We're an hour back this morning and arrived at the restaurant at 7:09. Found they only open at 7. We had breakfast with Mary Corondon. I had to leave the table and check into Southwest at 8. We got TSA Pre but our position was B08 and B09. I suspect the plane will be full. We don't have to leave for the opera today until noon. The Opera is at 2.
At the last minute I found there was a pre-performance leecture so we left before noon. Stopped at Dickeys on 14th St and had a brisket sandwich. Yum.
With Libbie's navigation using her phone we arrived at the opera without incident. I parked under the place for $15 which I thought was worth it. Libbie commented how we just go up the escalator and we're there. I tried taking a pic of Libbie in front of the house and met 2 women who wanted a pic and agreed to take ours in exchange. They did a nice job of getting us in front of the Opera House which we sent to Facebook. The lecture was awesome. I'm so glad we attended. Salome was even more awesome. IT was very intense and extremely well sung. Four ballerinas handled the dance of the 7 veils while Deborah Voight waved a veil around. It was very effective since it was very apparent she could not dance. Her singing however was strong, powerful and intense. I really enjoyed the performance a lot. After the Opera we checked into the Comfort Inn Market Square. I was pleased with the quality of the establishment. We went out to dinner to La Juivita, a Mexican seafood place with all Latinos including young girls in mini skirts. Mexican Polka music was playing. I had the shrimp and fish in La Diabla sauce. It was very very hot but delicious. I had 1 1/2 Coronas with it and also some chips and salsa. What a hot hot hot meal. I ended up having to scrape some sauce from the fish it was so hot but I enjoyed it.
