bearshortyToday was the day Bear took me to see a Broadway show for my birthday present. And the weather was great for it. Hot but not scorching. But I could wear my new outfit that Mama bought me in France. I do love my new skirt.
On the way to meet Bear in the city I picked up lunch at Au Bon Pain. I got their turkey melt sandwich but I didn’t read the ingredients properly because it had bacon. Which I discovered as I bit into it. Now, I don’t eat bacon. Last time I had bacon was in 2000. Since I already bought the sandwich and I didn’t just want to waste food I had to pick most of the bacon off it. I really can’t eat it anymore. Next time, I will be more careful in ingredients checking.
Bear and I went to see “The Book of Mormon” which I picked because we loved “Avenue Q” and “South Park the Musical” and any show that pokes at religion is appealing. He got the tickets before the current craze for it began, when it just opened. The timing of the Tony weekend was purely accidental. We both liked the show a lot; it was certainly very funny and had good songs, actors and dance numbers. And it was funnier to us because we are heading to Orlando soon. But we both agreed that we liked “Avenue Q” more and while this show was great to see it is not the best musical ever. But it was very entertaining. The second half was much funnier than the first half and my favorite numbers were “Spooky Mormon Hell Dream” and the play within a play “Joseph Smith American Prophet.” I actually learned a lot about Mormon religion, more than I knew before.
After the show, we walked to 46th street where I saw so many restaurants a while ago. We ended up going to “Bangkok House” and having some good thai food. I got green curry which was just right amount of spice and Bear got pad thai. I also had a mango mojito and it came with free appetizer of really good steamed dumplings. So overall, good restaurant choice.
I had a lovely ferry ride back home, it was chillier by then, but the wind and the water were very calming. It was a good relaxing end to a really fun day.
