Are excellent! What good photography, and it took me back many years ago to the time of my visit.

The gardens would be something to see, as I can surmise from these pictures. Can't wait to email them to my fellow English teacher who got me back into reading Hawthorne.

Did you see the tuteurs? What craftsmanship. What I wouldn't give to have garden structures like that.

I'm thinking another visit after a summer of reading Hawthorne is going to be in the offing.

Re "Young Goodman Brown," my fellow teacher and I concur on what we think it means, but I'm not finding too many others who do. I haven't searched that extensively, though. It is such a disturbing story that I need to learn more about it.

As my colleague remarked when she told me it was her favorite story, "Why does everything have to be nice? The world's not nice."
