July 22, 2010 Thursday

This morning the lesson was very instructive. We learned a lot of New England’s culture.
What about the greeting? Don’t shake hands! That was the first important advice. The second advice was: show your interest by making many noises, when somebody is talking to you, otherwise he will feel uncomfortable.
The last big difference was: Vermonter people aren’t afraid of the idea of contact with ghosts. If you want to sell your house it’s a law to tell, there is a ghost living in.
You have possibilities to keep ghosts away: for example with a rounded wall or staircase, or with white lilac planted in front of the kitchen.
When in Rome, do as the Romans!
In the afternoon we strolled through Woodstock for a last time to say good-by. We had a nice chat with Sally, the owner of a funny vintage clothes shop called “Who is Sylvia?”.
In the evening we went to an organic farm for eating a Pizza. these people there reminded us of our youth. Their motto was: feel free, don’t worry and be happy. Lydia
