Wednesday June 25/08 - Winston-Salem, North Carolina, USA

It was lack of leg-power usage that described this day. Our bus for the boys happily subjected us to horizontal posture within our bunkbed interior. The conditions are crammed, to say the least, but they are happy conditions. Like camping you find yourself traveling light and moving with people that are congenial.

I was hosted by a very dedicated couple, Ksauri and his wife. I woke up to the smells of fantastic herbs permeating the air. Water is extracted from a well-source. It's tasty although I never take great fancy to water. It comes across as bland to me. Blackberries are in abundance. So is poison ivy. You must watch where you step and if not for the formidable ivy then wood ticks could get you.

The actual area of our youth's stay is a place called Prabhupada Village which has a rural temple under going construction. While the younger set who are age 16-25 sleep in the bus confines. I have that privileged space at Ksauri's. The day did steep in heat and we worked extremely hard at drama practice. No time to walk.
