Hello, hello dear blogger friends!
Sorry for the neglect, but I've been away. (and Michael claims he doesn't know how to work this thing!)
I was at Lark Camp for a week! It was really cool. It was held in the Woodlands Camp in the Mendicino Mountains.
It's a world music, dance, and singing camp that gives daily classes in almost anything you want to learn about.
There were hundreds of classes to take!
I took Balkan Dancing, Middle Eastern Drumming, Swing Singing, Maritime Pirate Song, Greek Dancing, Turkish Gypsy Dancing,
Civil War Song, Irish Ballad Singing, and one day of Cajun Porch Song - but I'm terrible at French, so I chose a different class.
The camp was split into three, each with a different world theme. I traveled between the camps on my mountain bike to attend my classes. They provided a shuttle service, but when you see the beautiful road I had the priviledge of riding, you'll understand why I rode. I did about 8 miles each day.
The meals were astonishing! Gourmet! So it's a good thing I was riding my bike so much!!!
Each night there were different dances. The dance hall was glowing and the musicians were fabulous.
Here's a few pics from the week.
And remember to click on the pic if you want to enlarge it.
This is the cabin where I stayed.
This the lovely little trail I took to the bathroom. :)
There's where my car lived for a week. And there's my faithful two-wheeled friend!
This is the road I rode between camps.

Looks like fun!
Time is winding down to when I go back to work...
sigh.
Glad to see all the great pics. Everytime I try to upload pictures it takes forever. I must be doing something wrong, or I'm just on during peak usage. Aargh!
The activities at the Lark Camp sound really great. Was it a wonderful experiencel, or just "so-so?" Would you do it again?
Thanks for keeping us up to date with your adventures!
