Summer fun

We daytripped yesterday to an afternoon concert at the International Festival-Institute at Festival Hill in scenic Round Top, deep in the heart of central Texas. The program by summer student artists was varied, exciting and fun. We may go back again next weekend for their Patriotic Concert on Sunday, July 3. The program looks fine: besides Copland, Ives, Gershwin and others, we can hear music by John Williams (The Cowboys) and Mel Brooks (The Producers).

After the music yesterday, we had a thoroughly enjoyable country French dinner at the Brazos Belle bistro in nearby Burton. Chef André Delacroix's kitchen was in good form.
