Symbiosis

AWESOME DAY. Worked at home in the morning as Rachel slept in, attempting to recover from her 45 minutes of sleep the night before. She actually woke up bright eyed at 9 and we worked/read/talked through the morning. In the afternoon we head out to Penrose which was also wonderful. We hung out on the spit that had been uncovered because of a very low tide today; several kids were out there and so I showed all three the neat creatures revealed as the water receded.

We then had a wonderful picnic lunch. Gathered the camp hosts and went on a hike in the forest to the "third beach." Unfortunately, it was too overcast to see Rainier over the water, but I made up for it on the way home by taking a several minute detour and finding a good view of her.

This evening we returned at dusk, made dinner, and have now been sitting and talking for several hours. So far, we've tackled personal journeys, past friends, changes, school plans, passions, creativity, family, self perception, the english language, group dynamics in study abroad, the AIDS epidemic & infectious disease, plants, academia, constructive use of free time, and of course...boys. but sparingly.
