Goodbye Strauss. Hello Mozart!

Hey All! Apparently crossing my fingers worked - or pressing my thumbs as Drew so rightly commented - because Frankfurt has been very sunny since Brenda and I arrived on Friday. It is a bit chillier here than in Bordeaux, but I'm not going to complain. At least not until the clouds come back.

I am amazed by how long a week can feel. Last Tuesday, I was sitting in Bordeaux looking forward to coming back to Frankfurt. Today, I feel like we've been back for ages. In any case, it is good to be back. My coffee maker and I are finally reunited, and Brenda got her 2-hour massage. The first hour was a Thai massage, which apparently means that some lady climbs on your back and does somersaults until your muscles feel better; Brenda loved it.

Anyway, Brenda's weekend vacation is over. She's already had two days of rehearsal, and has been spending a lot of time with her Die Entführung aus dem Serail score. In fact, she's with her score in the other room right now. I'm trying not to get jealous.

Speaking of studying music, I actually need to do a little studying of my own. Brenda and I will be headed back to the US in less than two weeks for a wedding (YAY Dan and Whitney!), and we're going to be singing for the ceremony. Hopefully I still have a singing voice; it has been a while since I've dusted off ye old vocal cords. I'm sure it's like riding a bike, or something.

Before I bid you adieu, I thought I'd post a couple of pictures we took at the winery in France.

Brenda and me. And barrels of red wine.

More barrels of wine.

The guy who gave us the tour.

That's all I've got for this week. I hope you are all great, and I'll talk to you next week!
