New England in the Summertime !!!!

Well...hello my friends.... Hope you are having as wonderful a summer as I am : )

I have been playing these days in the northeast. Last weekend I was taking my clothes off in public on Martha's Vineyard at their clothing-optional beach at Gay Head. I cannot recommend this beach enough! Although the clothing preferred people like to walk past us nudists and nonchalantly glance at us, there is no hostility aimed at us by anyone or by Bible-thumpers wishing to make us "ashamed" at our nakedness : )

In fact, the artists that make their presence known at the beach are very cool!!! A photographer who teaches at a small northern private college was there both days taking photos of willing participants with his turn of the 19th century camera! And another artist takes large egg rocks and makes freestanding structures with them. They look like they must be connected to balance on top of each other!!!

Martha's Vineyard is a really charming island to explore and enjoy. I would also recommend checking out Newburyport, MA. It is a charming old waterfront town that looks like it is trapped in the early 1900's! They are celebrating their annual "Yankee Homecoming" and this year is the 50th year.....go see it if you can.

The rest of this week I am in Burlington, VT to learn about artisan cheeses at a cheese conference! Oh my how extraordinary cheese can be if you seek out the small, independently owned dairy farms!!! I am taking a cheese and beer pairing workshop tomorrow! Life doesn't get much better than this gentlemen!!!!

Next week...mark your calendar to see me in Boston, MA !!! I will be there from 8/8 until 8/12! Let me teach you what I have learned !!! : )

XOXXOXOXOXOX.....
