Saratoga and Martha's Vineyard
The great thing about summer music festivals is that they usually occur in the most beautiful places and the most appealing vacation spots! If only we had more time to explore and enjoy them.... Still, who can complain about a week split between Saratoga Springs, NY and Chappaquidick - the beautifully remote little island off the end of Martha's Vineyard? Here we are enjoying the wind on the ferry ride over to the Vineyard.
And here's Donna sporting her very chic wrist bands to avoid motion sickness!
Emily and I also found time to revive our highly competitive ping pong rivalry. Notice Emily's "armwarmers" which she wears during rehearsal to help her warm up but which also seemed to give her a distinct advantage in this particular ping pong match. I must admit that I lost this round...;-( There's always next time!

Donna wouldn't need that kinda arm band if they would slow down that boat cuz it's going too fast!! Where's the fire!!! Hope there wasn't another Kennedy at the helm =O
Ping Pong is really fun to play, especially when you go wicked fast on the serve and nobody bothers to keep score. Also, it's easier to clean refreshment spills off the surface without leaving an unsightly stain like in billiards.
The Saratoga and Chappaquiddick concerts were superb! Perhaps next summer you will get to perform at Ozawa Hall at Tanglewood. You would think that the powers that be at the BSO would figure out what they are missing and hire the Claremont Trio for a chamber music concert and a Beethoven Triple posthaste!
