We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to NYC. We started the day with a loooooong wait in the discount ticket line but successfully procured tickets to Phantom of the Opera. I then frantically searched for a unique espresso cafe, but finding none that fit our itinerary, was relegated to my usual Starbucks latte. Later, we stumbled upon a great Italian restaurant and enjoyed a fantastic lunch. They even had an expresso machine so I did get my authentic NYC latte and it was quite good.
The play was good but I am becoming increasingly concerned that I have an abnormality with my brain that interferes with language processing and comprehension. I simply could not auditorily understand many of the songs. However, I could discern what was happening through the visual elements and snippets of words. D said that she could hear the songs and understood what they were saying. I plan to do some testing to try and recreate my comprehension difficulties.
I was surprised at the intensity of D's emotional response to various songs and segments of the play. She really showed some passion that I don't often see. I will look for some opportunities to view other operatic plays in Boston and the surrounding areas.

The next time you're here, head down to my neighborhood (the East Village)
If you want good espresso...or coffee...or anything, THIS is the place to get it.
I liked the last part of this blog... Reminds me of a line from my favourite movie--
"And it has nothing to do with anything external because that hasn't changed... If you stare at someone long enough you discover their humanity."
I love going to see plays. Last winter I went to see The Sound of Music and cried through quite a bit of it. Which made my sister laugh. :)
There's nothing like real theater.
