El Lago de los Cisnes (Swan Lake)

This weekend I took Dad-the-bad to El Lago de los Cisnes in Mexico City for his birthday. (I know, every man's dream.) It is performed outside in Chapultapec Park on the lake in front of Chapultapec Castle. The night was starry, the weather was perfect, the performance was enchanting, and dad even pretended to enjoy it. (Don't worry, I have a great present waiting for him in Houston that he's going to love.)

Since photos were "absolutamente prohibido," I snatched these off the web. Too bad, too, because they just don't capture the magic of the evening.

Thanks for being such a good sport, sweetie!

Mi Guapo

Feliz cumpleaños, mi amor!

weekend

Last weekend Brandon was in town being recruited by Rice University, where he is considering doing graduate work. We couldn't resist the chance to get together at a churrascaria, but then dad will use pretty much any excuse to go to a Brazilian restaurant. It was great seeing Brandon. Wish Lindsey and Violet could have joined him.
