Holly Mae's 30th

Holly Mae joined the ranks of 30-somethings and we celebrated at Maria Peligro for some Mexican comida and margaritas. We also went to see Tosca the following Sunday at the Staatsoper Berlin, a beautiful and surprisingly petite opera house in former East Berlin. We dressed-up fancy, then went to the Tiergarten for a ukulele jam/fingernail painting session (they seem mutually exclusive and yet somehow coexist nicely). Time flies when you're playing ukulele, so we had to take a cab to the opera and change into our high heels in the ride over. We made it just in time and enjoyed a lovely evening of Italian arias and intermission pretzels.
