We went back to Chautauqua for a day, mostly so our daughter could enjoy an afternoon with the friend she had spent so much time with over past summers before they both head off to college. This time my husband went along, so we also went to see his family for dinner; they live about half an hour away.
Here's what I think is cool about Chautauqa: for an afternoon program like this:
2:00 - Jean Bethke Elshtain, professor, social and political ethics, University of Chicago, Religion and Politics.
3:30 - CLSC Roundtable Lecture. Jim Wallis, God's Politics: Why the Right Gets It Wrong and the Left Doesn't Get It.
you get about 700 people who want to sit there for two and one-half hours, soak it all up, and ask questions
and then you get to walk around eating ice cream cones and gawking at other people's summer "cottages."

Oh, man... I KNOW I would love that place... Lisa :-]
I'd like to read that God's Politics book. I have it on reserve at the library but just have to wait my turn!
"Cottage"? lol...
Ah, sounds like an interesting lecture - Hummm "God's Politics". I love the cottage, here in the south we'd say it had Southern Charm.

Yeah, all the women want to live there until it's time to paint the ballusters and latticework and that screen door. Then, they call their husbands. ;-) Chautauqua rocks.
Consider me gawking…
Best,
Judith
