I'd probably be off to the side, chanting mantras with the ghost crabs and absorbing the wonderful vibrations.<br /><br />Thomas Merton was a very interesting fellow. Hub and I volunteer at Mepkin Abbey, a Trappist monastery, and they have many of Merton's books for sale in their store. Merton was a monk at Gethsemane in Kentucky and the original monks who came to Mepkin when it was founded in the early 50's came from Gethsemane.Pagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10662354194885905183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-4320048081452958002012-05-15T07:20:16.272-04:002012-05-15T07:20:16.272-04:00What fun!

Everyone brings champagne, food, and then applauds as the sun goes below the horizon.

Sadly I have found no members of my "tribe" lately in this conservative part of Oregon. Your post made me miss so much of a life I somehow left behind. Hope I can slip into this celebration someday, but the djembe may not be in the rig when I manage to get to Florida!Sue Malonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00332448503740101970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-90463387336333499502012-05-14T13:55:13.127-04:002012-05-14T13:55:13.127-04:00knowS.....smileknowS.....smileSherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-32688484277073492152012-05-14T13:53:53.702-04:002012-05-14T13:53:53.702-04:00E & Mui, It's quite a contrast to my disli...E & Mui, It's quite a contrast to my dislike of crowds that this party on the beach celebrating the sun down is one I really enjoy. Everyone is happy and having fun. No one is short tempered or pushy or any of the things that usually happen in large groups. I don't think you'll have to get used to crowds on the road. I avoid them virtually everywhere but here.<br /><br />Hey duck.......you are so right. Very cool. Hmmmm don't know about Merton on your list. Look him up although he was an interesting bird or dude rather. You are definitely one of my tribe ANYWHERE and Now.<br /><br />Loree, it was great! Loved the dancing gramma with the cane.<br /><br /><br />Gail & Rick, Wednesday was fewer people but also less spectacular. Fewer dancers, less variety. I like them both for different reasons and would for sure do them both again at least once or twice more. Or who know. :-)Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-10419797296980050012012-05-14T13:43:33.303-04:002012-05-14T13:43:33.303-04:00I don't know that I could be at that celebrati...I don't know that I could be at that celebration; way too many people to my liking ... but hey, maybe I'll get to like crowds once I'm on the road.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08333995679958103393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-77170586766099409592012-05-14T13:35:33.122-04:002012-05-14T13:35:33.122-04:00Coolio dancing lights!
