today chanda had an audition for a ballet school she is considering attending in the fall. we won't hear the results until wednesday or thursday. i rode my bike uptown with her and had a sandwich and coffee in a diner we like that is just up the block from the school. in the meantime, morgana went to the met museum to see the pergamon exhibit, which she really loved. afterwards, she met me at the diner and we walked to the school where the audition was to see how chanda was doing. there were quite a few moms and dads peering in at the door, so we didn't stay long. we managed to catch a few glimpses of her in the room. it was quite full with hopeful students.
i was hoping morgana could ride downtown with us on a citibike, but citibike only has an all day pass that costs $12. that was a little too steep for us for a thirty minute bike ride home. we walked instead and chanda rode ahead. it was quite hot walking along the river in the sun! however, i didn't find it too uncomfortable as i've finally acclimated. it just takes me longer than when i was younger!
breakfast this morning was cornmeal french toast with maple syrup and ricotta cheese. morgana had this at shelburne farms in vermont and has been wanting to try making at home ever since. it was very good; especially good with the vermont maple syrup sent home with her from my friend marisa.
The Pergamon Altar is in Berlin. Right now, they are renovating the museum there. Maybe that is why there is a special exhibition at the Met?
ReplyDeleteHas Chanda found out about the ballet school?
Peter and I have been taking walks in the evenings. It has been quite nice recently here in the evenings, not too hot.
Yes, perhaps that is why the exhibit could take place :)
DeleteNo news about the ballet school yet.
It's so nice that it cools off by you in the evenings! It's a hot summer for us with many of the evenings still in the low 80's until 3 or 4 in the morning :(
Which school did she apply to?
