They would be my tour guides today
Wednesday.

It was a slow start in the morning due to the late night before. It was a good day for sleeping as it was raining, so we didn't go for another walk to Grayson Park as planned. Maybe another day.

Jackson went to the library to check his emails, while I stayed back and looked through his music collection.

In the afternoon, Martha and her friend Crystal (also another fiddler) went to Galax. It was another great day at Galax and I'll let the photos do the talking.

Unfortunately Jackson couldn't join us as he had to finish off his fiddle as it needed to be done by the end of the week.

Malia is another great fiddler. It's funny that I saw her and many other people on youtube, and now I was meeting them at Galax!

One of Martha's many friends at Galax. He was another great guy to hang out with at Galax (and very funny too). He's also a great fiddler and photographer. He is a biology professor too!
