Hey! Wow, I don't know what to write, even though yesterday was awesome. Well, I guess I'll just start with...the bus ride. We rode on the Cabot Trail, which is a beautiful sceninc route.  We stopped at one place that was by water where boats were docked. So Bill Nittler, Daniel Goldberg, and I and a few others started skipping rocks, or at least tried to.  It was hard because we were above the water, so we had to use a different angle.  It was still fun.  There were also fiddle players that played a few songs. Grandma & Grandpa B. to hlep me because I mess up a lot, especially at promenading.  Since there was a shortage of guys Liya was my partner.  She was the boy along with Ginny, Brianne, Anna, Madeline, Karen, Sarah, and a few others. It was a lot of fun.

After that we performed at at a Ceilidh (or something like that). So there were tons of BAGPIPES and FIDDLES! As well as singing and some awesome Celtic dancing and tap dancing.  This one lady played the fiddle then did awesome tap dancing, then she started playing the fiddle WHILE tap dancing.

The whole time I was there I kept thinking "Man, Michael Chaney would love to be here."

Well, I've already taken up enough space, so I'll sign off.

I love you all!

PS Oh, and Mom, you would love the food up here. It's basically all seafood: from salmon to mussels to scallops to clam chowder and more.  Too bad I can't stand seafood.  I wish I could bring it home to you! Oh, but I just decided that I am going to try a Halibut for one night.  Wish me luck!
