Becca and I are thrilled to be in a home-stay this residency. You know, like an actual house. No hotel rooms. No dorm rooms. A house. That real people live in.
Before we met our home-stay lady, she invited us to a all-denominational religious service at the Chautauqua Institution.
How shall I describe this place? It's like as if time decided to freeze in the mid 1920s, and preserve everything from the land and architecture...and some of the people...up until present day.
Our home-stay lady, who shall remain anonymous because I want to keep her forever, is amazing. She took us out to dinner at the Institution, and her friends bought us ice-cream after the evening summer concert/religious service.
She is fabulous. Her friends are fantastic. This week is gonna be incredible.

| Actually, this is from Jamestown, NY. We stopped there for lunch. There wasn't much to see. But we did get FREE spaghetti sauce out of it. Ask me the story later. |
 |
| Of course, Lake Chautauqua. Beautiful. |
 |
| One of the many hotels that overlook the lake. This was spectacular. |
 |
| Another beautiful house. |

| "The Nature Classroom"--a real classroom in the Chautauqua Institution where they hold classes about, of course, nature, religion, and philosophy. |
