I arrived on Monday, June 27 by train with many duffle bags, etc. Travel days are always most challenging, but this one was quite easy. Several of us arrived together on the train from Manhattan, so we already got acquainted on the van ride in. What beautiful countryside - very lush from all the rain.
The serenity and friendliness greets you immediately and helps one relax. My tent was already setup so I only had to unpack and arrange my tent space. That doesn't take very long given the 8x8 ft. dimensions. When I figure out how to post photos to my blog from my iphone, I will provide visuals.
After an amazing vegetarian dinner, we were entertained with a Welcome Night where we all played lots of games until we felt like we had been here for months. Then time to find my tent for the night. Even with my flashlight, I managed to get lost but eventually found my way. Sleeping in the tent is quite comfortable.
Day two was orientation and that lasted until mid-afternoon. Quite helpful. Took a wonderful yoga class after dinner and then back to the tent. Night two was a bit different as we had a tremendous lightening & thunder storm. My tent stayed together and didn't leak, so all is good. Tomorrow I start work, so I'll update more later.
