Dancer interviews and creekside walk

In the middle of the week, we have a couple of non-performance days. On Wednesday morning I met Suzanne and Ben at Manor Vail Lodge to listen in on an interview for the podcast Conversations on Dance with Herman Cornejo and Tiler Peck. The room and audience were very small and so we saw Tiler and Herman beforehand, just hanging out. The interviewers for the podcast are former Miami City Ballet dancers. It was really special to be able to see the dancers in this setting, talking about how the pandemic affected them and other aspects of their careers. We were able to say a few words to them after the interview.

 After the interview, I joined Joel and Joyce at the pool. I sat and read while they bounced from jacuzzi to pool. For lunch, we got a table at Fall Line and I had a delicious tomato and goat cheese salad.

We had a later dinner tonight at La Tour, a French restaurant that we've never been to but had eyed the menu before. The restaurant was able to completely open their front wall so that there was a nice feeling of outdoor dining even inside. I had a delicious duck breast and we admired their desserts.

On Thursday, we went for a walk by Gore Creek. There is a nature center and the trails leading from there are marked with a written guide to explain some elements of the ecosystem. 

Tonight, we are heading to Lionshead for a jazz performance. Dinner is at Tavern on the Square. They have a huge outdoor patio with umbrellas which was perfect for today's sunny early dinner. I didn't end up loving the performance. However, after jazz night we always go to Rimini for gelato.
