Meeting up with Echo, Jay, and his lady friend, Sherry for dinner at Café Salade de Fruits, we indulged in an assortment of cuisines offered on the menu and their house wine this evening. The cafe had a very nice ambiance and our server, fluent en Français, was cordial.
Our group of four proceeded to move on to the Stanley Theatre shortly after satisfying our hunger for a performance of Victor Hugo’s Les Misérables which we had been looking forward to seeing for months. We were seated at the very front row with the stage floor at eye level. We had initially thought that there would be some obstruction of view but after sitting through the first act to the intermission, we all looked at each other with wide eyes, amazed by how vivid and encapsulating it was to be so close to the actors. You could see the sweat beading up on their foreheads and read their facial expressions! And at $25, we felt almost guilty for not paying as much as we were willing or as much as they were deserving.
24601 continues to play in my head.
