15 of us (two thirds) of our IRF class had a weekend away at the Holy Cross Sisters' holiday house in Michigan, on the other side of Lake Michigan from Chicago.
We scored the warmest weather of the year, with two clear sunny days which allowed us to play soccer and volleyball on the beach, and to take long barefoot walks. It was wonderful to watch the slow, lingering sunset over the lake, as our usual sunset in Chicago is blocked by nearby buildings.
In between we cooked and ate, watched movies, played cards, and had numerous morning and afternoon naps.
It was the first time that our class has gone away together like this. I wish we had done this sometime last semester too. There was a great ease with everyone - nobody having to be on their best behaviour, but each of us enjoying the others' company.
