The Music of the Night

We had two funny music experiences that made us roar with laughter. At the fancy Italian restaurant last Saturday they had a strolling violinist. He wasn't very good and played softly so it was hard to hear. He did play at several tables, but never got to us. I commented that he looked like someone? And Jeff said he looks like Ellier Russ. We erupted into fits of laughter. Dear Ellier was a beloved member and past president of our synagogue in Trenton. A nice man and this guy did look just like him.

Last night we enjoyed piano music at dinner. Sadly he was finishing as we arrived. He played well and performed Fur Elise, Elton John, Danny Boy and a few other selections. His last piece was Tradition from Fiddler on the Roof. He started at a normal temp and then got faster and faster until you couldn't form the words to sing along. So funny! We figured he realized  it was time to go home and wanted to get out of there quickly.

Yesterday at the beach I took photos of the gulls and terns. Turns out! They are royal terns who migrate here for the winter. Have not seen them in Hilton Head, but will look for them this summer.

This morning is sunny and a bit cooler. Getting ready to head for our last full day here. We have massages scheduled for this afternoon and mani/pedis for both of us.


My pretty drink is delicious. Time to go home and back to reality. It has been a relaxing and fun week. Adios 'ol Mexico!
