somehow we survived camping in new hampshire on some random mt. chocorua. it was really beautiful. despite the lack of running water. the ride up was full of horrifying statements including, “holy cow we are going to be eaten by bears,” and “can you believe we just took our last shower in the next five days?”
but it all worked out quite swell. we made some new friends, hiked up a big mountain, i learned how to make a fire, and we did a lot of relaxing. quite swell indeed.
well, except for the possible lyme disease, but i think we have that under control.
oh, and the mouse that we killed on the car ride home. kankamangus was his name. we saw him chilling in the back seat of the car before we left, and tried to cleverly catch him with two paper cups. but he was not fooled. no, he got away, and thought it would be cute to run across our legs sporadically throughout the trip. until the air conditioning started making a sound like duh duh duh duh duh duh duh (really fast). so we turned it off to investigate. and turned it back on. duh duh duh duh duh THUMP. needless to say, we didn’t see any more of kanka for the rest of the trip. poor mouse.
overall though, it was a fabulous trip and a great way to start off the summer of adventures! next up–wmzqfest this weekend!!
. She also made me laugh. She made me want to live every minute of my life as if it were the last, and the best.
