My friend and her co-workers were planned a trip to Pittsburgh to see a Spanish music and dance ensemble. In fact, my friend works with law professors and a kid of one of the professors performed in and directed the show. When she asked me if I wanted to go I just couldn't pass on such an opportunity. Since I had never been to Pittsburgh or to a Spanish dance show, how could I say no. After looking at the website that my friend sent to me, I was even more excited than before.
The two hour drive to Pittsburgh this past Friday was beautiful thanks to unseasonably hot temperatures. Our accommodations at the Marriott were just lovely. Prior to the show we had dinner at Lucca Ristorante. The restaurant, food and patio terrace seating was fabulous! I definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone finding themselves in downtown Pittsburgh.
After dinner, the show was just beautiful. The director's goal was to maintain the authenticity of Spanish Flamenco and he definitely succeeded. I really felt like I could have been right in Spain. Afterwards we went to a restaurant and enjoyed family style Middle Eastern cuisine with the performers.
Before heading back home Saturday, my friend and I went to IKEA. I only have one word to describe IKEA ----WOW!
