We shared
bedrooms in summer camp style. I roomed with Marie Barwick,
Tori Tasch and Peggy Thurston Farrell.
I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know these women on a more
intimate basis. It was fun and we had some good laughs together.
The baths and showers were also communal which was challenging
to some of us, but it was a fantastic experience overall.

Girls, ready for the bath! From left to right: Pat Filzen,

The
photos below are all courtesy of Peggy Zalucha, unless otherwise
stated. I was recovering from pancreatitis and so didn't take
as many photos this trip as I usually would have.
The
artists were given the option of dining on eastern or western
style food. We were only there for two nights so I chose
the latter, knowing I would be dining in Japanese style
the rest of my visit.
The
Welcome Banquet
Our first evening at the Fujinomachi Art Center was spent
at a wonderful Welcome Banquet. Reunited friends Fumiko, Hisako,
Toshiko and Tamlyn (from left to right).
