We went camping in beautiful places this weekend. We had our fill of pretty much everything--from spooky bus rides to lightning, the gorgeous beach, pine trees, a lake, boat rides, improvised smores, delicious food, LOTS OF SINGING, birdwatching, backpacking, high-fiving waves and hammocks and tents. The place was so, so gorgeous, and its beauty got me praying to my mighty, mighty God at the most random moments. Also, it was awesome cause Pets and Paolo were there with me, and they are amongst my most stellar friends. Good to be with people you can be kids with! We were all so giddy. Also there was no signal, and I felt absolutely cleansed to get away from the city for a little bit! I'm terribly roasted and my nose is peeling (just the way I like it), and I couldn't be happier. I have summer skin!
