Das Mendelssohnhaus

Hallo!

After attending service at the Thomaskirche this morning, I ate a bite of lunch and scrambled off to see the living quarters of Felix Mendelssohn-Bartoldy during his tenure here in Leipzig. The house is way cool! Very beautiful. A lot of space to stretch-out. I took a few pictures of the place, got a program of the Mendelssohn concerts taking place across Germany this year, as it is his 200th birthday (in February) this year; then I headed back home to get ready for a concert of Stravinky's music later tonight. I've never been to a ballet, so tonight will be a first. I'll tell you all about it soon.

Tschüss!

Was the ballet all that you expected? Hope you enjoyed it! Loved the pix! Be sure to have someone take YOUR picture while you're there...so you'll have proof to show your children you went to Germany! :)
