Taz, Becca & I went to the Anchorage Opera on Sunday. Sometimes I forget that I live in a city. I know it's there but I'm always focused on the mountains, parks, ski trails, outdoors and away from people. To compound that when I'm out training at 8am on weekday mornings most of the Anchorage population is working so it feels pretty remote. So it was an exciting change of scene to go downtown to the opera and be reminded that I do live in an actual, legit urban area with a large population and full schedule of non-skiing events. Hey, who needs to leave alaska to get some sophistication?

We went to see Don Pasquale, courtesy of an acquaintance with spare tickets (thank you! you know who you are), it was my first opera experience and I liked it very much.
