Even before we left Brunswick in May we were determined to come back for the ᖃᓪᓗᓈᖅᑕᐃᑦ ᓯᑯᓯᓛᕐᒥᑦ Printed Textiles from Kinngait Studios exhibit before it closed at the end of October. Separately, we got invited to a friend’s birthday party in Rochester, New York, toward the end of July. Now, Rochester and Brunswick are in opposite directions from each other, but they’re both reachable by rail, and for us that’s enough. Over a period of nine days we took six Amtrak trains (covering 1400 miles), several commuter buses, and innumerable local buses and subways.
We saw textiles, vintage games, and the director’s cut of a Captain America movie (not one with Chris Evans!) Ate Indian food in two different states and BBQ in an old train station. Found a Frank Lloyd Wright tribute in a warehouse. Gave some books away and bought more than enough to replace them. Read on.
