This Samsonite carry on luggage set was purchased in 2003 at Costco. I still use it on all my trips. Heavy? Yes but they’re durable and rather handy: 21 years and counting, in 2024.
I often walked from Frankfurt Hbf to Renate’s home in Bockenheim, in which many paths are pebble stoned, or I chose to.

Will return. I stopped by before Lucia di Lammermoor.
I haven’t been to a Saks for a few years. The one I used to go was on 5th Avenue in New York. It never impressed me. Sandwich between Bergdorf Goodman and Macy’s, Saks, I think their Christmas light show is the standout. Walking into this small one – two floors with cloth and cosmetics, I’ve a little wow feeling – maybe it’s the time of the day – afternoon; maybe it’s not crowded; or maybe I shop online for too long and glad in a physical store … The overall feeling is refreshing. Their decor is mute and light. Staff is ready to help.

Lucia di Lammermoor by Italian composer Gaetano Donizetti (1797–1848). It was premiered in 1835 in Naples.
Another love story. Another good production. Another great opera.
This tragic drama was loosely built on Sir Walter Scott’s 1819 historical novel The Bride of Lammermoor.
Five scenes with two intermissions plus three pauses, 3:15 long. The set designs are really good.
