Boot Camp Thursday and Friday

Aha - I apparently do have some blog followers - my apologies for not blogging Thursday! Thanks for noticing...

Thursday we had a lovely performance by Lyrical Strings from Portland - you heard a Czardas by Monti, a Tango by Piazzolla, and 5 Rumanian Dances by Bela Bartok. Here's a link to their website:
