This morning I continued researching cars looking for a Prius V. I looked at the Carmax offerings as well as cars in the Raleigh area. I found two promising offerings - a Carmax in Columbus, GA and one in Naples, FL. i skipped lunch except for a banana then left for the Opera at noon. We found parking on Palm a short distance from Main St further from the Opera House. We picked up our tickets then sat in the courtyard chatting with a couple from Michigan. He's a retired fireman living in Bradenton. They do season tickets in the balcony each time. We were in the second row of the balcony. Not as great as being up front in the orchestra section but the performance was outstanding, the music fantastic and overall a very enjoyable experience. I heard Opera i a whole new way. During a duet I noticed on Clarinet followed the Soprano while another clarinet followed the tenor then both Clarinets played the duet. Very, very good.
We ordered a Dominoes pizza online for dinner - extra cheese and extra mushroom on a large Brooklyn crust for 7.99 using online coupons. Our pizza wasn't ready even though online tracking said it went into the oven as we were leaving the condo. they apologized and said they got behind and gave us free Parmesan bread twists which were delicious. The bread came with Marinara dipping sauce. Very good.
