While Mark was umpiring in Oneonta, Danielle camped out at Pinewoods for a long weekend (4th of July, to be exact) of contra and English country dancing. I also got to do crafts, singing circles, and board games. Fun fun fun.
Danielle found a friend (Jeff) to canoe with on the lake in Southern Massachusetts, in deer tick country. Fortunately, no ticks landed.
English country dancers groove on a wooden floor at Pinewoods during a dance workshop.
Back in time
After dancing, Danielle took the time to visit historical Massachusetts. A woman (pretending to be from the 17th century) waits for visitors to enter her home at Plymouth Plantation, a few miles from where the explorers landed back in the day. I took this photo quickly from the window; it looks like a painting to me. I love it.
Danielle stands in the dry dirt road at Plymouth Plantation, where actor/historians answer questions as if they were living in the 1600s. The water in the background is Cape Cod Bay.
A yoga break
Chairs overlook the Berkshires, just a half mile down the road from Tanglewood at the Kripalu Yoga Center. Danielle spent a few days there after the dance at Pinewoods, doing relaxing yoga and making new friends. It was a wonderful place.
Danielle and new friend Libby look at some flowers at Kripalu while on a walk. The flowers were actually an herb, but I forget which one.
Libby is all smiles at Kripalu.
Even being immersed in a yoga retreat center can't pull some people away from their texting. LOL. This is Emily (sister of Libby), who was part of my relaxation course. She plans to go for her yoga teacher training in October. You go, girl!
