One week gone

They say time flies, and they are right. I can tell you, this week has just flown at the speed of lightning.
Last night I had a delicious meal at Judie, who came to talk to us and explained what was on the menu: simply impossible to choose. So, we followed her indications and were not disappointed at all. I can recommend her Rambling Rose cocktail, just to name one thing.

Fridays at Amherst are a little special. No real lectures on the programme. This morning Bruce and Julie listened to our comments on the past week and took us through the activities of the next, which looks just as promising.
We then walked to the nearby High School Library where the librarian, Leslie, gave us useful information about the use of websites and databases.
After lunch we were expected back in our meeting room and discussed in smaller groups our final project. We listened to each other's ideas, commented them, asked questions, received advice. We realise we still have to work on it and shouldn't put that off.
The weather in New England is supposed to be hot, sunny and humid at this time of the year. Apparantly, this year's summer is unusually grey and rainy. Although the temperature is on the high side, the weather is very unstable, which makes it hard - especially for the ladies - to decide what to wear.
Tomorrow Paola and I will take the Peter Pan bus to Boston and spend the day there. We leave at 7 in the morning and will be back at 11 at night. We're looking forward to it.
