Bayreuth 9

No one has yet come up for the computer, unusually enough, so I'll go on a bit more. Tonight I took special notice of the colors of the Festspielhaus lobby: the bottom half of the walls is a dull plum that in some lights looks like a worn chocolatey brown; then come some alternating stripes of differing thickness in cream and very light turquoise; and the top part of the wall is a warm ochre. It all looks very harmonious and very much of its late nineteenth century time.

  1. I just tried to leave a comment and failed. Twice. No wonder nobody comments!
    I don't know if they're fresh from the vine, but they have tomatoes and cucumbers at breakfast, which is the closest to vegetables I've had all trip. Lots of fruit though.
    And I believe that's your favorite catalogue.
    The clothing descriptions are all for you, of course.
