It's May 29, 2006, around 10:00 AM, we have parked the car at the world-famous Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square PA. I am recording using a MicroTrak with the supplied "T" mic attached to a custom "boom" made from a TV antenna. This gear lives in a bag I carry over my shoulder, and sometimes that leads to "handling" and movement noise in the recordings. It gets better.

In this first segment, my wife and I walk across the parking lot and enter the admission building. We are among the early birds. You will hear a group of Asian tourists in the parking lot, footsteps, and a dramatic change in ambiance as we enter the building.

This was recorded at 44.1, 24 bit. I was not monitoring the recording, so it was recorded at quite a low level, then maximized using Goldwave. The most offensive handling noises have been edited out.
