Aberdeen. It's on the NORTH Sea. Go figure. When we arrived yesterday, we were greeted by icy winds. You think I mean really, really cold. But I mean ice. Bits of icy rain, sleet, and wet snow. And like 25mph winds. Today it's a lot better and seems to be in the upper 30s. But I still had to buy a wool coat so I won't freeze on our way to the theatre. Last night we saw a free production called Opera Unwrapped where they explained the plotline and workings of The Barber of Seville. Tonight we're seeing the opera. Tomorrow night we're seeing Mozart's Seraglio. His Majesty's Theatre is gorgeous. All marble, red and gold and ivory. Even though our seats for tonight and tomorrow are in the nosebleed section, we will still have a pretty sight. And hopefully good singing. Last night we heard the understudies, and they were pretty good, so the principals should be quite engaging.
We are off to find St.Andrew's Episcopal here in Aberdeen. It's our momma church, y'all!
peace.
