Good Friends Camp
Pennsic XXIX

Our encampment was small and comfortable.  Our encampment population this year consisted of:  Mary of the Two Hills (Mary), Layli (Lili), Thomas (Sam), Gininne, David (Dave), and Katarina Helene (Helen).  At first we thought we would be a bit cramped, but we had two friends unable to join us, so there was enough room for us all.   We sure missed Aelfric (Marc) and Aelfwyn (Heidi), though; we could have managed to squeeze you two in, if we had been given the chance.

Below are some photos I took of things in the encampment.
