i thought it would be fun to take the nyc ferry to astoria today, to see our friend amelia dance at the socrates sculpture park.
i also thought that it would feel so wonderful to be out on the river with the wind in our faces . .

chanda was asked to participate in a dance . .
our friend amelia . .
down the hillside to the revels . .
we were surprised to see that our friend kathyn alter was also dancing with her company today . .
our friend now has a son who is 3 1/2. we know her from when morgana danced with the jose limon company in 2008. you can see two posts from that time here and here.
(this is an excerpt of the dance, day on earth: morgana comes in at 1:17 and is dancing with roxanne d'orleans juste and rafael boumailla.)
there is a mailbox on top of the sign post with stairs going up to it. you may have to click to enlarge the photo in order to see it. the car to the left was also interesting . . it had some kind of white netting creating a pattern over the exterior.
putting away the portable chair . .
before having dinner at belaire diner . .
it was a fun day . . we ended up walking eight blocks to the subway and taking the f train home. it was not as pretty of a ride, but it was much quicker.
