It’s 85 miles to American Wilderness Campground in Grafton, southeast of Cleveland. They advertise themselves as being the closest campground to Cleveland. There is a group of Young Marines (Devil Pups?) staying here in tents.
We got settled, had a couple of hours rest, then drove 30 miles to Cleveland Heights for a 6:30 showing of The New York Metropolitan Opera’s “Carmen.” They do live showings in movie theaters around the world during their regular season and we went to two this year. I love it even though I’ve never been interested in opera. We had seen “Tosca” at Chautauqua last summer and when I saw it on the Met’s schedule we decided to go since the story was fresh in our minds and the productions are always different. “Carmen” was one I had wanted to see and don’t remember what the schedule conflict was, but when I learned they were doing encores this summer, I put it on the list of “things to do.” Thunderstorms are predicted and it rained a bit before we went into the theater. We saw a lot of lightening on the way home, but not much rain. The opera was wonderful and I certainly plan to see more next season.
