Oh, and my gf and I went to the Hancock Shaker Village in Pittsfield MA today.
The site is a functional farm/museum open to visitors, but, not a Shaker village anymore.
I may have left them a drawing at their historic school house.
It is about 750 acres. We don't go there for the religious angle (a lot of people do), we just like to walk around and check out the farm.
We also visited the Berkshire Museum while we were in the area, and aside from a Diadem rat-snake and an impressive mineral collection (including a topaz a bit smaller than my head)-it was rather lackluster.
Bad lighting and restrictions on photography made my pictures of the museum a bit of a mess.
Note: My gf was mad that they were co-habbing two male ball pythons at the museum, and they both looked like they were in tough shape.
Aside from driving a few hundred miles back and forth from our home-we thought it was a fun trip.
