We stayed with Natalie Shiras, an old friend of Anne's last week in Lee, Massachusetts while she did her three day interim ministry training. This is the Berkshires, lovely rolling hills and their towns and Congregational churches ( one of which Nat is the minister).
Snow was predicted for the day we were leaving, but we didn't expect 14"! We got an hour down the road (we were going to mosey along through the hilltowns on a two lane road) to Stockbridge, because I wanted to show Anne the great old hotel I found a few days earlier, The Red Lion Inn. Since 1773, it is the longest continuously running hotel in the country. We got there and realized we would be foolish to continue our trek. Snow was coming down like, well, look at the photos. All the merrier for us. I played piano with a guitar player in the tavern and we were safe and cozy for the night. We took off the following day in fine weather and returned to DC.
