opera

On Monday night Greg & Bryte took us to see the opera Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute) at The Met in Lincoln Center. Neither David nor I had ever been to an opera in Lincoln Center before- it was beautiful! And we had amazing seats right on the floor in about row 20! It was in German, so it was neat to try to understand parts of it. They do have subtitles on the back of the seat infront of you, but sometimes we didn't have to pay attention :)

We were right under the great chandelier. We later learned that all the crystal chandeliers were a gift from Austria to thank the USA for their support following WWII. Good thing David was wearing his Austrian Tracht!


We had a really great time! Thanks so much G & B!!!

winter?

Yesterday was a balmy 72 degrees! In JANUARY!!! In NYC!!! We decided to take advantage of the saturday weather and hold the first annual "greenhouse grill" on Steve's roof.
There was a girl who lives in the building sunbathing in a bikini up there!
Bryte's parents were in town visiting.


We watched the football playoffs projected onto the building next door. The roof got quite crowded with 3 different apartment groups partying outdoors. Crazy!
