Weekend at Long Island

I went out to Northport-Long Island to meet Gretchen Haynes

at her house-built even some years before our house in Heidelberg-1860-
very strong memories-
we passed 5 weeks in 1997 there -9 People-5 our family plus 4 friends of the kids-Thomas already very ill with fever attacks-
I did not exspect the sharp pictures in my inner eyes from these times and the smells and the feelings.....

nevertheless I enjoyed the long walk at the beach with Gretchen-our shades before sunset

and the views from the big porch we spent all time eating,gambling-Siedler!-talking-drinking

and the calm and view out of my bedroom

and INDIAN SUMMER all over the island
Monday Gretchen and I went back to town recovering her first livingplace here at 10thstreet in the 1950thies as a student
learning a bit about the Indians in US at the museum and in the evening
listening to a show at Joe´s Pub at Lafayette about Bertolt Brecht-
performer was Mike Daisy- did it very funny but not very profound-so as Bertolt Brecht is our favourite-Polly is the Polly Peachum from 3 penny opera-I did not learn new things about about Brecht but about the American way of looking at Brecht
