I played a game of shuffleboard. Alice W. Smith gave me her place on the track. Art Winslow played with Jane Weinke against Walter T. Matia and me. Thanks to Walter's skill, beginner's luck on my part and the fact that Art did not play as well as he can ... Walter and I won.



The fun goes on.  Barry van Dusen delighted us with his fieldnotes, a luxury.


Before finishing the day we enjoyed a succulent American barbecue.

All in all a fantastic experience that we would like to repeat.

PS. Sorry for the delay in posting this ... the beginning of the course has not allowed me to do it before
