Adventuring

 

Laughing Gull

Over the past two weeks I walked thirty miles in the Adirondacks, swam and fished in one of the cool, clear, lakes there, set my feet in the Atlantic (or at least the Chesapeake) crossed the bay bridge tunnel twice, saw 99 species of birds, attended a really cool farm show, where I got to enjoy the pleasant manners and genuine friendliness of farmers from our South, and was terrified by horrendous violence in the motel room above ours.





 I spent time with both our daughters and granddaughter, Peg, and had some amazing times. I am kinda tired, but not too bad, and only missed one day in my 10000 steps a day quests...8000+ that day, and 13 thou the next...





Not bad for an antique vintage individual I guess.....


Willet...I do love Willets!

Seems like you DID go adventuring! Sounds like fun, but if you're anything like me, I bet it feels good to come home, too. The older I get, the more I have to push myself to leave home, but I'm usually glad I got out of my rut for a while. Especially if it means spending good time with those I love.

Jacqueline, it took me a few days to recover, but overall, it was a lot of fun, especially birding at camp. I loved reading about your big adventure! Must have been an amazing experience.
