Consuming the Levant

Last night Ben and I had an adventure in Salt Lake
We called it "Our Salt Lake Adventure"
Ben's friend invited us up to have dinner with her and go see the Opera.
The opera was called "Ariadne auf Naxos" and it caused us to realize why we'd never seen an opera before.
Because it's boring and pointless.

Dinner however was fantastic.
I have been wanting to try Moroccan food since my Middle Eastern History professor talked about it. So I asked if there were any Moroccan restaurants in Salt Lake that we could try.
She went online and found several restaurants in the area that serve Moroccan food, and one that was only a few blocks from the Opera house. The additional bonus to this restaurant with the food and location that we wanted- was the entertainment.
Bellydancers Friday and Saturday nights.
oh boy were we excited.
when we got there they said the Bellydancers usually start around 7:30. Unfortunately that was when the Opera started so we thought we'd miss it. but we were continually blessed.
It took so long to get our food we were late for the opera and were able to catch the first of the BellyDancing. It was really cool.

pshe. I want to learn how to belly dance. Maybe that would pay better than teaching. . .

Things to tell you:
1- My dad does my taxes. Talk about livin' easy.
2- Comments on Jackson pictures:
a) I liked them
b) I don't know why Ben hates those ones of your really close-up face. I think it really accentuates your best features. I've always loved Toni's left eye and Ben's teeth.
c) In the picture of Ben at Lewis Falls, what's with the feet in the background? What is the body attached to those feet doing? They look uncomfortable.
d) Tam looks cute and I like your hair...and your classic Toni pose.
e) philo means love
