Hey all! I'm sitting in the Oper Frankfurt theater during a rehearsal of Die Walküre. Everyone is on break right now so I thought I'd take this opportunity to write to you. Brenda is a valkyrie in this opera, and she has the helmet, breastplate and spear to prove it. Brenda doesn't sing in Wagner operas that often so this is a treat for me. If you want to look at pictures of the production (although Brenda isn't in any of them) you can do so here.
Brenda has been busy with performances and rehearsals lately, but things will be winding down soon. Next week Brenda and I are going to Perugia, Italy for a few days. Brenda studied there in college for a summer, and she's always wanted to go back. She's going to let me tag along on the condition that I leave her alone if she meets a cute Italian guy. That works for me. I can always drown my sorrows in pizza and gelato.
Early tomorrow morning Brenda and I have to go to the foreigner's office in Frankfurt to get our visas renewed. Oh joy. Hopefully the German government will let us stay in the country for a few more years. I really want the US to join the European Union so we Americans can move to Europe without all this rigamarole. Although then they'd have to rename it since, last I checked, the US isn't in Europe. I think these minor details can be overcome.
Well, the break is over and Brenda is about to sing "hoyotoho" in my direction so I had better wrap this up. I hope you all have a great week, and I'll talk to you next Tuesday!
