Fallingwater - Frank Lloyd Wright Masterpiece

Thursday 11/12/09 we intended to drive from Cleveland to Deltaville, VA. A check of the weather this morning told us that the tail of Ida was hitting Deltaville and the Chesapeake Bay with 45-60 mph winds, 8-12" of rain and a 5' storm surge. We talked to the boat yard and they recommended we stay away for a day or two. So we made a new plan and visited a place we have wanted to see for years, "Falling Water", the masterpiece of Frank Lloyd Wright in Mill Run, PA. It is easy to see why the American Institute of Architects says this is "the best all-time work of American architecture." Linda and I were more emotionally impacted by the beauty of this home than we had anticipated. (www.fallingwater.info). Again we are amazed by the delight that an unplanned event can bring.

Tomorrow, Friday, if the worst of the storm has dissipated we plan to drive on to the boat yard in Deltaville and begin preparations to get Sandpiper back into the water.
