What a beautiful week it's been in Munich. We've had blue skies almost every day with temperatures in the 60s (who needs a coat in November?) and I've been outside enjoying it as much as possible. Unfortunately, while I've been out soaking up the rays, my better half has been stuck indoors fighting a sinus infection. Brenda noticed a runny nose and sore throat on Saturday during her first performance of Die Entführung aus dem Serail (a great show with a great cast!) and since then it's only gotten worse. We don't know yet if she'll sing her second performance tomorrow night. The opera house wants to know by 9 AM tomorrow, so we'll see how she feels in the morning. Ah, the joys of being a singer.
I'm not used to this kind of weather in November in Germany. Here's hoping it continues!
On Sunday I walked by a packed beer garden Brenda and I have frequented. I somehow resisted the urge to buy a giant pretzel.
While Brenda's been working (on singing and getting healthy), I've been studying for my third and final tax exam. I took and passed the first two exams when we were in Berlin last season, and now it's time to take the third. The topic for this exam is business taxation, which, as you might imagine, is rather complicated. I read some sections and think "I have no idea what that means." Luckily, I had that thought a lot during law school and I learned what to do: read it again. If you read a section enough times something usually sticks, or at least that's what I'm hoping.
Brenda and I head home to Frankfurt on Sunday, and we get to stay put for around two months. We're really looking forward to it. I hope you all have a great week, and we'll talk to you next Tuesday!
