10 days in the Milk Barn

We have been here in Surry Maine now for about a week and leave in a couple days. It is a hard place to describe in a few words but will try.

Where we are staying: Surry Barn. This was a farm … hmmm a hundred years old? So there is a collection of buildings. We are in the milk barn. There is a terrific painting of St. Petersburg in our barn. That is because after it was a farm and after it was a zendo it became a place of music. Our barn housed a group of Russians who worked with a group of Japanese who housed in another area to put together an opera they sang in Italian. Yup, true story.

We are not using the whole barn though we have it all to ourselves. The interior is slightly challenging, especially for Brant , due to low slung beams. In addition you have to go up 2 short steps to get in the bathroom. (Not easy in a cam walker). It is rustic and a bit ramshackle but also beautiful, functional and very reasonable in price. An added bonus are concerts in the hay barn a short walk away, a farmstand on the premises once weekly, easy walk to a nature preserve, a long walk to a lobster shack and getting to meet some very nice folks.

Tomorrow we head to Gloucester then Brooklyn then Mexico. And in a month we sill be back in Sacramento.

So many more pics and videos, but must finish packing. Listened to great Jazz in the hay barn tonight. Nice when you only have to walk 50 feet to your music venues!
