First Saturday here + BBQ!

---

Hey!

So, this morning, after breakfast, I had a yoga class - don't let anyone tell you it's easy!!

After the class, I went on a walk around a trail called 'Simon's rock' - pics attached! Thought I may see a bear, but it wasn't to be today! Did some reading in the sunshine back at my place, before driving to Pittsfield for a BBQ with friends of Julia - Joe and Nancy. The steaks were to die for! Their house is next to a lake, and we spent the evening by the lake, drinking beer and toasting marshmallows! - Thanks to them for their hospitality!

Seems Massachusetts has some weird State driving regulation - you can ignore a red traffic light if turning right, and they seem VERY liberal with respect to drink-driving! Just saying!

Anyhow, getting the train to New York City tomorrow - will be there for morning coffee and a read of the New York Times. Plan to get a train back to mine at around 5pm.

Spk soon

Garden
Hi Jon, What a fantastic garden! Your photo Twilight at the lake.... showed a canoe with two people in it. Were they fishing? Did you have a go? Enjoy New York! Best wishes, Dad

No, we were just drinking beer on the lake-shore. I think they were just Kayaking - don't think they were fishing.. x

Wonderful life!
Jon, Your life sounds wonderful! Good job you didn't meet a bear. I met a bear on two occasions in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee one summer. They could tear your arm off. Then you'd need a doctor. And you, being the doctor, would have to sew it back on ... single handedly! I love your photos and reports! Good on you! Have a great rail trip to New York and I look forward to hearing about it!
