Chautauqua

One of my closest friends, Lindsey, who is leaving for 8 months as an English teacher in France tomorrow morning, spends her summers at a Chautauqua community in NY. (Or THE Chautaqua community, more info here/ ).  Anyway, one week last summer was devoted to education and the links to the videos are still active and she's shared them with me.  I haven't watched any of them yet, I'm actually looking forward to watching last night's Glee instead, but I plan to, and thought I could at least share.  Here they are:

(Lindsey and me, unfortunately we are such good friends I couldn't find any socially acceptable pictures of the two of us, so I settled with this one)
