A few photos from the trip, with more to come:
Amanda aka NHKnittingMama.
Karin, who gifted me with the black baby alpaca that became my friend Amy’s shawl, holding Lucy, and Kristine, Lucy’s mother, who took Jennie some Ben and Jerry’s emergency room medicine.
Paula, wearing her spindle-spun Blue Jay shawl in an absolute perfect imitation of the original, color-wise, with Sue, and that cute tall guy standing behind her.
Joan, who lives in Vermont and whose blog is called knittingbytheocean. My daughter, when she moved to Vermont, described it as being like California without the ocean (and with real weather), so Joan’s blog name has always made me chuckle.
My sister Carolyn, who met me at JFK Airport during our layover on the way home. It took her as long to get there as it took us to fly from Vermont, even though she lives in Manhattan. 
This is a shot my childhood friend Karen took near the Potomac, looking up at Swain’s Lock at a point where there’s an overflow release for the C&O Canal.
The spot where I fell through the canoe, several steps away and looking the opposite direction from the above picture. Yes, that’s straight down. I knew you’d all want to see the spot.
