To Be Brief

In case you were wondering, we’re still having a great time.

Last night, we made fire, which meant dinner was hot and a little more elaborate than PB & J.

Towns rose up from the otherwise barren and unhabitated (but naturally beautiful) landscape like prairie dogs coming out of their holes. The populations of the towns were invariably smaller than the town’s elevation in feet (or so said the signs). The towns were not unlike ancient Roman towns around Carthage. Strange…the connections through time…

We also drove through a herd of cows
