Scorpion Lake in Tibet, Summer 2005

accomodations

We've rented two enormous houses on Block Island, and everyone is welcome. However, there is limited bed space, so if you're willing to sleep in a tent, or on a couch or floor, please let us know. Thanks!

schedule

Our idea is a truly relaxing weekend, so we've only made plans for the evenings of Saturday and Sunday. The rest of the time, you're free to explore the island by hiking, biking, go to the beach, play horseshoes, canoe on the lake, whatever. For more info about Block Island: www.blockislandinfo.com

You’re welcome to arrive Friday night or early Saturday morning and stay until Monday morning, or anytime in between.

Saturday, May 27th: wine tasting, food, dancing, and a bonfire on the beach.

Sunday, May 28th: wedding parade to the bluffs, dinner at a local fish shack (vegetarians welcome!), and more dancing…

Depending on the weather, the schedule will be adjusted.

dress

Please dress however you want. The parade to the bluffs is along a dirt road. For those of you who need more detail: dress is casual, but dinner can be nicer (dressy casual?).

Drive to the New London, CT port. You can leave your car at the parking lot across the street for $15/day. Block Island is small and easily walkable, so you don't need your car. We will have several cars on the island to get everyone around. If you do want your car on the island, you will have to drive to Port Judith, RI, for the car ferry (see below).
