Feeling a bit better...

Well, the first evening is over, which means that the hardest part, for me, has past...I presume!

Was brave and sat with strangers at dinner and introduced myself- a couple of lovely ladies from Washington, who it turns out are in my singing workshop. Plus my wonderful passenger from the drive up and another lady doing the 3rd workshop offered.

I managed my meal - it's all very good, but I'm a plain foods girl, so gourmet and fancy stuff isn't always for me. I took too much and ended up leaving some, which was not good of me, but now I know for next time. I skipped dessert as penance.

I made it through the first workshop session - the introductions, which are always hard for me. And then we sang a couple of songs, after finding our place in space and doing some warm-ups and so on. It was lovely, in the most beautiful building - I think it might surpass the chapel for view and architecture here...I'll take photos and post some.

Time to head to my tent and get ready for bed. The shower/bathrom house for the tenting area is really clever. I was worried (a bit) about communal bath-house, with the swimsuit optional philosophy, but it is a lovely building with a breezeway all down the center, small cubicles with toilets and sinks along the left, showers on the right, with towel hooks and cubbies in the breezeway. Very lovely.

Decisions...do I get up early to do yoga at 7:00 am? Or sleep in and just go to breakfast at 8:30? I do have the chance to nap in the afternoons (I guess an advantage to travelling child free).

I'll decide in the next while!

off to bed now...
