I had a wonderful time at the festival, as did my husband & Chicago friends, but I'm only now recovering and getting around to going through all the pictures. Next time I'll have to train in advance, because heaven knows I'm not interested in pacing myself. I'm particularly grateful to all the very nice folks who made us feel welcome. In some ways we had even more fun than last year, part of it was that this time we had a better idea of what to expect and could better plan where to be. And the festival organizers are to be congratulated on doing a fine job of getting scheduling information out early. The best part, of course, was all the singing.   

My sole regret is that once again, we didn't manage to find much time before or after the festival to enjoy many of the regular exhibits at the Seaport. There were just so many things going on!

Anyway, for those who are interested, here are some of our pictures from the festival, most of them taken by my husband. I congratulate him on achieving a personal best on fast lens changes during the Barrouallie Whalers boat demo.   We would have taken more pictures, but were having too much fun to be messing with cameras. I put them on flickr so you don't have to worry about signing up for anything to view them.
