Hey all! Now that Brenda's last performance of The Tales of Hoffmann is finished in Munich, we get to enjoy almost three weeks in Hamburg before moving on to the next gig. Brenda handled the bouncing back and forth last week beautifully, even if she was a little sleep deprived at times. Lucky for us, Germany celebrates the Monday after Easter as a holiday, so Brenda was able to enjoy an extra day off before returning to rehearsals today.

The weather in Hamburg has gotten nicer these past few days, and we decided to take advantage of it yesterday by going for a jog. Our apartment is very close to Planten un Blomen, a beautiful park in the middle of Hamburg. When I studied here in the fall of 2012, I used to regularly walk through Planten un Blomen while on my way to a coffee shop or to the opera. Coincidentally, Brenda made her Hamburg State Opera debut while I was a student here. We both have a lot of fond memories of our time in Hamburg and are really enjoying being back here again.

It looks like Brenda will be fairly busy with rehearsals until her show opens next Tuesday, but I think we'll manage to find time to have a little fun before then. At the very least, we should revisit a burrito place we went to in 2012. You know, just to make sure it's as good as we remember.
I hope you all have a great week, and we'll talk to you next Tuesday!
