Back already

I am home. Wow, that so-called vacation went fast. Turns out I never got to the Shakesperean Festival. Didn't get any further than the mountains.

I got mesmerized by the blue sky, the sun, the wind in the trees, the sparkling water of the creeks and lakes, the incredible display of stars every night. I liked not hearing another human voice unless I turned on the book on tape I was listening to. I liked not eating or drinking until I, and only I, wanted to. I liked showering in the great outdoors. I liked snuggling deep into piles of blankets and putting the hood up on my sweatshirt to seal out the freezing night air.

So, I stayed in the mountains. And now I am back. It went too fast. But, I know it is still there, waiting for me.
