Shakespeare in San Diego

We went to the theatre last night. Yet another first time. Actually, I think this is only the second time ever we go to see a play together, due to language obstacles. (The one we saw then was Vesturport's Romeo and Juliet with all the sircus acts and the fire eater. C. enjoyed that, and knew it enough to guess the thread as it went).

So, last night we saw the light hearted Comedy of Errors. Definitely not one of the greater pieces, but it was all so pretty. Took place under the open sky of the Globe Theatre in Balboa Park, and it was colourful, lively and had amusing sound effects.

C. had managed to keep the details of our little night out secret to me, much to my annoyance. Last time he took me out for a surprise like this (it was Cirque de Soleil, completely awsome!) I managed to crack the puzzle on the way, as we were driving out of Pacific Beach ...

After the show, we strolled a bit in beautiful Balboa Park. What a treasure to have within the city limits!
