Cool

Today was an amazingly beautiful day.  The heat broke, and it was nice a cool this morning when I went out for my walk/run and it stayed relatively cool for the whole day.  Clear skies and warm sun.  David took two walks today – on in the morning and then before dinner.  After the morning walk, we went to Napa to explore.  Stopped at the Oxbow Market, which was nice, but we didn’t stay.  It was quite a scene, and we really didn’t see anything that caught our eye.  Drove along the Silverado Trail, and stopped for a tasting at Stag’s Leap.  Nice wines, but not the best space, and not really relaxing.  Then home, and I ran out to do some shopping.

I also called to get tickets for the ballet and theatre performances that are part of the Napa Valley Festival del Sole, and, while it was sold out online, I asked about tickets for the opening night performance by Audra McDonald.  He said he would check, and there were tickets.  Two on the aisle in the second row no less!  So, we have three cultural events in the next couple of weeks.  The Audra concert is outside at the Castello di Amorosa, which should be beautiful.  The other two are in Yountville.  The theatre performance is a 24 hour Play with many stars from TV, and should be very interesting.  They will present 10 minute plays that will be written and rehearsed in 24 hours.  Thought it would be fun.  The ballet features dancers from ABT, Ballet San Jose and San Francisco Ballet.

Off to bed now, night!
