we're back
Jul 26th, 2012
It was touch-and-go for a little while there, but we survived four nights of wilderness adventure in remote Bar Harbor. We got home last night after dark, and it was a little odd to turn on the lights in the house—not only because we obviously didn't have any luxuries like that out in the woods(ish), but also because we haven't been using electric lighting even at home for a while. It's sometimes nice to give things up, and that's a big part of the appeal of camping for me. Of course, it's also great fun to climb mountains and wade in the ocean and swim in ponds, to eat breakfast at restaurants (well, one restaurant several times), and to explore all sorts of playgrounds. We took many pictures; they will make an appearance somewhat later.
