There and Back Again

Tonight we (Rina, Jon, Eric and Gloria) went to that Ticho house, whose museum Rina has already visited, and where Jon has already dined. We started off in the lower gallery, where we saw paintings of modern women by several famous artists, such as Picasso, Renoir, Matisse, and Warhol. That doesn't mean they were all good, just that the were all famous. We then moved to the upper gallery, where we looked at Dr. Ticho's chanukia collection, and Mrs. Ticho's sketches and drawings. We then moved back downstairs for dinner.

Every Tuesday night the restaurant hosts a jazz quartet, and offers a wine and cheese (and salad and soup and pasta) buffet as part of the meu. Everyone but Eric trusted their bodies to handle the lactose and went for the buffet, which hosted a dozen types of cheese and a variety of wonderful dairy entrees. While we ate we were entertained by the musicians, who played a mixture of holiday songs, tunes with Jewish roots, and what we assume to be jazz pieces. After noticing that everyone who was in the room when we arrived had long since gone we decided to call it a night, and headed home to sleep before our early wake-up tomorrow.
