The journey starts on a cloudy filled day. The ferry trip was super fun with Lisa and getting to find out that Dunkin was now on the ferry (not really good for my wallet) was so fun. As we walked to the theater I won’t deny the coffee I was sipping on did make my stomach hurt but it wouldn’t be a real coffee if it didn’t. We also saw a really cool car and stopped to ask is this art?

As we got seated in our front row seats my anticipation grew faster and as the lights dimmed I couldn’t imagine what would happen next. I’ve never been do a ballet but I love seeing live performances. The first dance was really fun for me. It had a lot of movement and expression and was super colorful and over had a really fun story from what I could tell. The second dance I didn’t really like it had notes of one sided love but overall wasn’t really funny to me and rather worrying due to the sweat from the male dancer but I can’t blame him he was doing way more than I was lol. The third dance was truly captivating. It was like watching a sweet love story and the under the sea theme was very beautiful to see. We also met the lady from the dance and she was soo sweet.

The final dance was by far my favorite though. It had a sort of Arabian nights vibe and was really beautiful. The glittery outfits and headbands and hair jewelry was really stunning. I also really enjoyed the music. Getting to see some of the dancers from other dances and see how passionate they were, made me really happy for them. It also made me wonder how they figured out dance was for them. Were they starving artists? It all made me wonder how it felt to be under those lights and preforming.

We ended the day with a stressful hunt for food. After not eating anything except an ice coffee anything sounded good. I went to Dave’s Hot Chicken and had the besttt hot chicken sandwich I had in a while. On our way to the SIM Anjali, Jayson and I stumbled upon 2 art galleries and they were so cool and had a bunch of modern art. After a long walk we made it home on a very fun SIM trek home.
