Anniversary Present

Traditionally, for a first wedding anniversary, the gift is paper. I thought I was being clever in giving Andrew tickets to see one of our favorite comedians, but it turned out he had the same "clever" idea. He got us tickets to see the musical "Fiddler on the Roof" performed downtown at the Civic Center. Not only did we both give paper gifts, but we turned our anniversary into three fun nights instead of just one!

We had dinner at a Greek restaurant downtown because it was a throwback to our honeymoon
(I had moussaka again) :

Speaking of our honeymoon, we bought this dress in the San Francisco portion of our trip. It is really fun to wear because the bottom swish-swish-swishes. Please ignore my undone hair! We flew in that day from our week long trip at Mt. Hermon and our bags were lost. (but now they're found)

The best part of the night (as you facebook people already know) was, unbeknownst to us, the lead of Tevye was actually played by Topol, the same actor from the motion picture! We were just amazed by how spot-on this guy was and then saw the playbill at intermission. I was so excited and the production was truly amazing.

Topol is now 74, but still has plenty of vigor during the musical numbers. He does look a little trimmer, though:

Thanks, handsome, for the great present! We were singing "Tradition"; "If I were a rich man" and "Wonder of wonder, miracle of miracles" for probably two days after the show.
