I wore this horned helmet (yes, it is real metal with wooden horns) to the new production of Wagner’s Das Rheingold at the Metropolitan Opera.

If only I could share the sounds of the water while enjoying a break on my bike ride.
Governors Island Bike Trip
I finally uploaded my pictures from my bike trip to Governors Island in New York City. What a beautiful spot that has been preserved over the years; we are fortunate to finally have access to it. I uploaded my pictures to Flickr.
A Visit to Zurich
I had the pleasure of visiting Zurich, Switzerland, for the first time this year, and have finally been able to upload my pictures of the day to Flickr. From Grossmunster (founded by Charlemagne) to Fraumunster (with the Chagall windows) to St Peter’s Church (with the huge clock) to the Landesmuseum (Swiss National Museum) to walking through the charming Old Town, Zurich is a treasure.
I hope to get back and again visit Barbara and Gary, who were most gracious and hospitable hosts during the afternoon and evening.
Munich Photos
I uploaded pictures from my trip to Munich on Monday, 30 August, and they are all available on Flickr. Visiting the Nymphenburg Palace (and the wonderful porcelain workshop there), Marienplatz, Frauenkirche, Hofbräuhaus, and the surrounding city. I am fortunate that this was my second time visiting Munich this year, and as it is becoming an increasingly important airline hub from New York to Europe, I hope to visit it again.
By the way, while I did visit and eat at Hofbräuhaus, I drank red wine there (no surprise?!).
