Concert

Tonight we were invited to a concert at the home of the head of Public Affairs for the American Embassy. We arrived about a half hour late due to the traffic, and the fact that the address we gave to Uber did not seem to match the actual address, so our cab driver drove up and down the street trying to find the right house. He was from Nepal and, unlike most Uber drivers, he could not stop talking, although I only understood about fifty percent of what he said. The house was magnificent, elegant. Waiters were carrying around trays of appetizers and glasses of beverages, including wine. There were maybe about 50 or so people, Fulbrighters, members of the USIEF, members of the American Embassy. The concert was piano and cello, including some songs from Gershwin. Afterwards, there was more food and drink. A good evening
