The Gallivanting Gals were off for another day of learning and exploring. Yesterday's destination was the Hancock Shaker Village. Pulling in to the parking lot at 10:10 am we thought we would have plenty of time to swim and relax for the day, but no, it took us five and a half hours to explore the village. We learned about the Shaker faith - which focused on confession of sins, communal living, celibacy, and worship. The simple buildings were strongly built and the whole village focused on the round barn in the centre. Don't worry, pictures will be uploaded in a few days - when I get home.
After the village, we went to Berkshire Mall and then home for a quick swim before the thunderstorm moved in. Actually, we were kicked out of the pool because lightening was striking everywhere. I loved the storm. The power of God was once again in full display! I can't believe this is my last day in the Berkshires... I'll inform you soon about what goes on today. Ciao.
