In Which I Travel

Lots of goings-on this weekend. I went to the quaint town of Occoquan to poke arond the little shops, and discovered that there is a small waterfall. The weather on Saturday was warm, and spring was in the air, so being outside was definitely called for.


Today I drove to Bethesday, MD to Strathmore to hear Hillary Hahn, the world-reknowned violinist. She played a Bach unaccompanied violin sonata, which was amazing to watch. She makes it look so easy. She also played and Ives concerto, which wasn't so bad (I sometimes think Ives is better than he sounds), Kreisler's "Variations on a Theme by Corelli" (always fun), and
a Beethovan. We sat in the choir loft behind the stage. It seems odd to watch a performer from the back, but we were sitting pretty close, which is fun.
