Is it a postcard? No. Is it a picture of a computer screen? No. It's the pic I just snapped of one of the three giant windows in the conference room where we'll have group talk, small group workshops, and one-on-one critiques on our writing and art retreats next summer!

It has been a whirlwind second half of our first "Spirits" tour. We've visited Belfast and Dublin over the past week, including this 1920s-style speakeasy for some incredible drinks. Everyone is now on their way home (or the next stop in their travels!). We're sad to say goodbye to everyone, but we'll be headed back to Scotland soon to begin our second "Spirits" trip next week.

Before heading to Scotland in a few days for the start of our first "Spirits" group tour, we're spending a few days in Strasbourg ... or, maybe on an elaborate film set, because it is so beautiful here it does almost seem staged. :-)
