I was so lucky to be selected for this wonderful trip. I'm glad you liked the vidoes. They're fun aren't they? I also think that there are very exciting things to be found between the disciplines. I was having a discussion with friends the other night and we thought that the relatively recent labels of "The Arts" and "The Sciences" is misleading and unhelpful. I believe that as a result of these labels though, the space between the two isn't explored enough. Yeah, I was pretty exhausted! I'm not quite sure how I managed it! I guess it was all the input and excitement. I didn't want to miss a thing. There's such a bombardment of the senses there, I'm amazed anyone can ever sleep! Bless you Kim! :-) It really was an incredible experience Kim! I was so lucky to be selected for this wonderful trip. I’m glad you liked the vidoes. They’re fun aren’t they?

I am so glad you were able to participate in this experience. Wow! These videos are incredible and I will be returning to watch them again. The poet/engineer really intrigued me! How exciting is this blend? New ways to approach one's art is exciting, so playing a musical instrument in a different way really is exciting. This also sounds like it was clearly an experience for young people. I am not sure I could go on 4 hours a night for a sustained period. Well, if I did I would not be worth being around! It is so difficult to return after such a great trip and when you have so much to do blogging is the last thing on your mind. While I have missed your posts terribly, I know you were doing lots of important things - as only you can do! Thanks so much, Fiona! Oh Fiona, this trip sounds amazing.
