No Dance for Degas
Another weekend in Philadelphia, full of dancing, ... driving.. eating, and yes a little bit of drinking. Don't worry Parents, I only drink in moderation, especially when the restuarant has Presidente, my favorite Dominican beer. Let's recap the weekend:
Friday: Dinner at Mixto, a Colombian restuarnt in South side Philly. Food was excellent, great company, but bad bad service. Granted, we were a group of 10. Next, the group splits in two..... Marc has a head ache and wants to go home. Ha Ha ha... so what was that cure for the head ache again????? Do tell Marc. Ha ha ha. The troopers stayed on: Abe, Erin, Tony, Charlie and myself drove over to the Continental, a Martini Bar former 50's dinner. It has this really cool retro look that seems accidental for that part of town. We met up with Tony's boss and her cousin. After drinking a martini, we walked over to Cuba Libre for salsa dancing.
saturaday: The Philadelphia Muesem of Art, for the "Degas and Dance" exhibit. Something strange about a middle aged french man, sneaking into Ballet classrooms, drawing the curves and movements of young teen aged Ballerinas? Please, please, can we be serious for a bit. It's art! But honestly the Degas exhibit was breathaking. I especially like his later work and am looking to get a print for my apartment. Here's a picture of the group outside the museum. Oh ya, and if you don't remember.. this is the same spot Mr. Balboa ran in his training for the famous Rocky movies.
Ok, oppss. this post is getting to long... I gotta run....
