September 1, 2010

Cruising the Sacramento Delta
September 23, 2010
Scappoose, Oregon
After a few weeks aboard the boat in San Francisco Bay, we returned by plane to Oregon for a few wonderful reasons: To rehearse and perform Beethoven's 9th in Newport; and to travel to Germany for our former exchange student's wedding.
