After a perfectly lovely tour of the recently renovated Smith College Museum or Art and viewing of the stunning "landscape architectural" photos of Anne Whiston Spirn, we headed off to lunch with an old Professor friend from Paris days. We'd heard about Zen from some other Professorial friends and its menu was huge and pan-Asian which sounded nice.
Our pal had the Thai noodles (called pasta), Colette had a sashimi plate and I a sushi-sashimi bento. all were adequate, albeit not dazzling.

To stoke us up before our music at Marlboro at night (Brahms' String Quartet in A Minor & Mozart's Serenade in B-flat Major) we went to the Anchor Seafood Restaurant in Wilmingon VT. We chose it in large part because with our family having substituted 2 weeks in Tuscany for our traditional 1 week in Maine I needed a lobster fix.
