The Midwest is experiencing the worse snowstorms in history. Flights cancelled and cars buried under drifts of snow. Our friends and family( Chicgao, Monte Vista, Louisville, Philadelphia and New York) have kept us posted by email and Facebook... It sounds absolutely terrible. I did find a NYTimes paper in Publix today. The unrest in Egypt overshadowed(somewhat) the blizzard.. As a complete newspaper junkie, it feels quite odd to be disconnected. I occasionally check the news online but mostly we spend our days hiking, biking and strolling on the beaches with Momo. A typical day is coffee and a short walk, then breakfast. We decide what bike ride, hiking trail or beach we plan to explore...then, we head out to spend the day. We return to the campground around 4:00, we read or catch up on emails and then build our fire to prepare dinner. We've had some scrumptious meals. We've also met some great folks. Tonight two campers from Ashville, NC joined us for dinner.
The great thing about camping is meeting fellow travelers, inviting them to join you for nibbles or dinner or whatever. They arrive, bringing a great bottle of wine to share around the campfire.
Tomorrow promises another day in the low 80's... When the sun shines, it is very hard to think of heading north toward home...
We'll begin that trek on Friday, slowly winding our way back to winter's brittle reality.
