I feel dynamic range in this scene was a bit too much for reversal film, but you take what you get in situations like these.

Canon F-1.
Canon FD 70-210mm f4.
Kodak Ektachrome E100G pushed 2 stops.

That looks OK to me if it was taken in strong light. Who push-processed it?

Also, I bought an Olympus XA. As compact as the LX is, I don't want to take it with me everywhere just to keep it in good nick (plus it's hard to hide an SLR). The XA will free me from missing shots because of that. I'll still take the LX on dedicated photo walks and use it in my studio, but the XA will be in my pocket 24/7, ready to go.

When I shoot with slide film, because of its narrow exposure latitude, I have to take this into consideration when I evaluate a scene. You made the right move, exposing for the shadows. In that situation, you expose for the shadows and let the highlights fall where they may. Another important thing to remember about slide film, unlike print film, it will often hold an incredible amount of detail in the shadows and even quite dark areas. I have been able to pull out a surprising amount of detail from the shadows when post processing slide film. So even if you inadvertantly expose for the highlights, all need not be lost. Something else I like to do with unusually lit slide scenes is subject a single slide image to HDR processing. This often lets me pull detail out that otherwise wouldn't be recoverable.

Tmax 400 pushed one stop, except the third one which is delta 100 accidentally shot at 400 (and then pushed accordingly)
