Little Laura is back home - and this is what I got today- in for a penny...

[Mira]

just follow along and be in for a pound.

Remember: she is my visitor who fell asleep in the hanging chair, who's Dad is the percussionist for the group of performing monks "SUTRA"
This group has in it a ten year old boy who performs with the grown men.
Actually there are 2 boys, so if one is being ornery the other can go on stage.

Do yourself a favor, please, and watch this 3 min. video and you'll see a bit of what I saw in the performance in Chapel Hill, where I posted some campus shots (including a stairway :))
You'll get a hint of the performance. It blew my mind.

Now these are the photos I got sent from Germany today:

Laura with the two boys.

The entire troup including Laura in the front row.

And a little play in the grass.

3. Sadly I admit I may never see her again. it was a highly unusual meeting,

that has little chance of repeating. But was it ever fun to be around her and all the other happenings!
