6 days...

Well, its been 6 days since I've been on a computer. Literally. Surprisingly, if you don't think about all the stuff you're missing, you dont really miss it. Granted, the world could have blown up, The Rolling Stones could have finally called it quits, and Kevin Slowey could have thrown a no-hitter all in the past 6 days and I wouldn't know about it (let me know if any of these happened.)

Anyways, this place totally kicks ass. I've spent the past 6 days hanging out with some of the coolest, most unique people I've ever met, and I couldn't be more excited for the rest of the summer. Of course I miss people and things at home, but I wouldn't trade this experience for the world. All of the people here sheare so many of the same tastes in so many things that I do, its been so much fun to get to know people and hang out.

The past three days I have been able to go out sailing, and I am learning it, little by little. Its an extremely enjoyable thing to do. Also extremely relaxing. Last night we went for a night kayak, which was totally sweet, except for the fact that I got soaking wet. Suffice it to say that plenty of shrinkage is involved any time one submerges themselves in the water (extremely coooooold).

Tomorrow the kids come, and I am a bit excited. My co-counselor is a Mountain Camp veteran named Alan, who is from England and just partook in a marathon down Mt. Everest. He has been here for three years, so having the experience with me will be nice.

I wish I could tell more, as there is so much more to tell. Hopefully once kids get here and I'll start having some time off I'll be able to be on here and update more often. You all should for sure get at me; comment on here, send me an email, or gimme a call (515-710-1877), I always love to hear from you.
