I had a chance to have dinner with my friend Bruce last evening in Austin, Texas after playing piano for State Solo and Ensemble Competition at University of Texas.  I was really looking forward to spending some time with Bruce and he suggested in favorite place in Austin, Casa de Luz.  Casa de Luz is a beautiful, inspiring place.  They serve a menu that is entirely vegan, organic, and gluten-free.  It’s a “Center for Integral Studies” including Yoga classes, massage, cooking classes, and lots of other holstic health activities.  When I got there Bruce told me that it’s not actually a restaurant, it’s a gathering place.  And that’s exactly how it felt.  The general vibe at Casa de Luz was breathtakingly beautiful.  I can’t wait to go back!
