I was surprised to see a dinosaur exhibit at the memorial! I think I was expecting the entire place to be a tribute to CKS, so having a Dali exhibit there was also a little weird at first. I was sad that the Dali exhibit had closed for the day, but I spent some time with Aileen looking at an exhibit on upcoming operas. It appeared The Monkey King was on the slate for the season.
The upcoming operas for some reason made me think of the dramas I used to go to at the Buddhist Temple each year when I lived in San Francisco. I remember the plays each year continued a cycle of stories about a character named Peony. There were beautiful costumes and lots of pageantry. I think I would have liked to stick around to see Chinese legend operas.
