I don't recall if I posted a photo of this man before, but I pass him every day I take the short-cut to the post office.  He is quite the avid reader.

While I was on my walkabout Uncle Matthew and Ammachey were reading/resting.  Everyone else went to the rec center for various activities.  We all eventually convened back at the condo to eat leftovers.  Matthew and I took a quick trip to the bookstore for a 20 minute browse session. The cat, Cashmere, who lives at the bookstore was actually curled up on a different chair for a change.

When we returned Abe was watching The Spirit DVD which arrived from Netflix. This is the movie for which the AMSF composition students wrote original scores for the opening credits.  I mentioned this last week.  We wanted to hear the actual professional score.  I haven't heard it yet but Abe said the student versions were a lot better.

After everyone started to settle down Matt, Chris, Prema and I took a stroll into town hoping to find a nice place to sit for a few minutes.  We ended up a Mezzaluna, a local restaraunt, for something to drink and an unnecessary appetizer.  The condo was almost asleep upon our return.

Today is starting out nicely.  Ammachey and Chris have already returned from a nice walk.  Stefani Collins is here to practice with Maya.  Stefani lives in Cleveland and is a student of Mr. Kantor's at Cleveland Institute or Music. She will be working with Maya a lot this week and then hopefully a bit off and on for the rest of our time here.

Here is a shot of her playing a couple of pieces for us while Maya finished her breakfast.

On the docket for today is more practice for Maya (and Prema), relaxation for Ammachey and Appachen, and a rafting trip for the rest of us.  Will report back later re the white water.  We are going with Blazing Adventures, on the Roaring Fork River.  It is actually going to be fairly mild water today.  See the link to the right for more info re Blazing.
