A couple more things about the place where the course was held, more to keep my memory fresh than to illuminate you lot! It was so cool – well, the temperature was no less than I’m used to, but the humidity was way, way lower… Delightful… Nights were very chilly, and I had no blankets for the first couple of nights… Mist in the treetops in the early morning… Stars very clear and numerous, and Mars very bright: I haven’t seen more than a couple of stars at a time in over a year. A huge full moon for the first couple of nights, especially beautiful from the pagoda steps… Tree frogs invading the sleeping quarters and clinging to the straws of the brush that was used to remove them…
Just in from the New Year festivities; a bit early because I’m still sleep-deprived and need to hit the sack. A very happy year of the Monkey to you all; may it bring peace and prosperity to you all.
