TRIP TO FALLINGWATER
Every fall one of Carla's favorite activities has been enjoying the fall colors and accompanying a group of neighbors and customers to Fallingwater. She cannot go along this year, but we encourage you to consider profiting from this opportunity. Fallingwater is one of Frank Lloyd Wright's famous architecturally masterful oddities, a prime example of his determination to craft lifestyle to art, rather than bend his vision to the inhabitants' perceptions of a home's purpose. Quite frankly, the house and grounds are a thought-provoking and spiritually uplifting education on how we moderns use space, how little space we may actually require, and how opening our awareness to the presence of nature can invigorate our lives.

Field Trip to Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater

Sunday, October 10, 8 a.m. - 8 p.m.

Organizer: Bonnie Kogod

Fallingwater, Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpiece of domestic architecture, in a wooded area of western Pennsylvania near the Maryland border, is one of our favorite locales. Once again this fall we are conducting a community trip by bus to enjoy the foliage during peak season. The guided tour will include ample time to explore the grounds, take photographs, and visit the gift shop.

The trip costs $110.00, which includes continental breakfast at P&P, transportation, entrance fee, guided tour, and a tip for the bus driver. As an additional option, we also offer Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater: The House and Its History (Dover, $14.95), a fascinating and comprehensive guidebook with 118 illustrations, as part of the package for an additional $12.

At 8 a.m., we will meet at Politics & Prose in the Modern Times Coffee House for a light breakfast of coffee and muffins. The bus will leave promptly at 8:30 a.m. The bus trip takes about 4 hours each way. Once we arrive, we can enjoy lunch in the very pleasant café in the visitor's center before our guided docent tours begin. One stop will be made for refreshments on the return trip, and we can expect to return about 8 – 8:30 p.m.

Seating is limited and we must receive all registrations by October 1st. If you have any questions, please contact Bonnie Kogod at (202) 363-7738 or bkogod@politics-prose.com. You may register in the store, by calling Politics & Prose at 202-364-1919, or on our website by clicking here.
