We attended the Vermont Mozart Festival’s Wednesday (July 16) event, Grand Isle Jazz with the Helen Sung trio. What a fabulous location right on a point into the lake, with water on three sides, and such a majestic historic building – the Lakehouse - on the site.
This weekend, July 19 – 20, is the Mount Independence Encampment and Re-Enactment "Soldiers Atop the Mount". If you haven’t been to one of these before, don’t miss it.
Last weekend – June 14-15 – Vermont Days were our excuse to drive around.

Here in Layang, Layang, Spratly this week, we truly feel like the odd couple. Everyone here is a diver. One American even asked us - very surprised - "How is it possible?! You are here in one of the top diving spots in the world and you don't realize it?!".
What I am sharing here is how we felt last week when trying to get news about Tibet from “inside China”… You had to be there to realize how the “picture” of what was happening could be incredibly distorted!
