Not off to a great start...
Not off to a great start...
Arose at 4 to be ready at 4:30 for cab to airport. It's now 7:40 and I'm still at the gate...in Burlington. We would have landed in JFK according to the schedule! Everything went so smoothly on my trip on the 29th I just wasn't prepared for this.
Finally hit the floor at the Institute at 12:50. Perhaps I should have driven!
First ATM was Dead Bird, I arrived 1/3 of the way through it, but as I'd done it before I wasn't as confused or disoriented or upset as I might have been without experience. At the first instruction to lie on your back I relaxed into the process.
Second ATM had no name, and from the response I got to asking for one later, I got the impression it might be a "new" one, but that's just a supposition. It sure got my shoulder relaxed though.
The class has a) more younger people than I'd have anticipated, b) a greater percentage of men, and to the amazement of us all, three people from Vermont! One from Brattleboro, one from East Montpelier, and myself. Of course everyone else identifies me as "the English woman" so perhaps I don't count as Vermont!
I got back to hotel too tired to make decisions about food, so wandered up and down 3 Ave, and finally risked all on a Halal cart that offered lamb over rice for $4. It was three times as much as I could eat...so I learned something, about the quality of the lamb by inference. But it gave me the energy to get in, shower and putter until a reasonable time for real sleep.
