As I mentioned, my afternoon in Boston was a layover to Kim Bernard’s Maine Coast Encaustic Workshop Retreat. My respite on the Downeaster Amtrak train from Boston to Wells, Maine was lovely. The train is equipped with power outlets, and I listened to the clickerty-clack of other passengers typing on their laptops. Being prone to motion sickness […]
