the joy of not studying

Hello all! We're enjoying a little more down time here in Santa Fe now that the bar exam is finished. I was even able to join Brenda at the gym the other day, although my legs were quite sore afterwards. (Two months of being chained to my computer studying didn't seem to do much for my physical fitness.) My parents were kind enough to look after Rowan on Monday so I could see Brenda's fifth Lucia performance. She was amazing, as were her castmates. We also saw the first Alcina performance over the weekend. It's a really fun production, and the singing is top notch. Santa Fe Opera has put together a really nice season this summer.

I thought you might enjoy seeing a few photos we took recently...

 This is where I took the bar exam. Yeah, it's a barn.

 After I finished taking the test I met up with our friends Dan and Whitney.

 It's monsoon season in Santa Fe, and we've enjoyed some really beautiful rainbows.

A friendly snake was hanging out on our patio last week. We named him Gary.

Brenda and I attempted to hike to the top of a nearby peak (Atalaya) on Sunday, but we decided to cut the hike short after seeing some ominous clouds and lightening as we neared the top.

Last night we took advantage of my parents' open invitation to babysit and went to Die Fledermaus. Tonight we have a dinner at the opera house, and tomorrow Dan and Whitney come to town. I think we're going to have a great last few weeks in Santa Fe with so many friends and family coming to visit.

I hope you all have a great week, and we'll talk to you next time!
