Taking a break
I am thinking about taking a day or two off,
and also thinking that I really deserve it.
How come people get 6 wks of vacation in
Italy, and americans get scarcely 2 weeks?
Somehow it doesn’t seem fiar.
I am pondering participation in a paddling workshop
that will meander down the river in one of the most lovely
areas of the states. Well, it may be lovely if there are
no mosquitos out… otherwise they may bite me and
I’ll die from West Nile virus. LOL!
The opportunity to learn outdoor skills and to understanding
natural resources in recreation pursuits.
It’s supposed to be interactive and hands-on canoeing,
kayaking, and fly fishing.
I’m interested in nature hikes, adventure courses and
such so I thought this might be fun, albeit a little
bit out of the bandwidth of my typical day.
When I have plenty of time, I look for opportunities to
spend time outdoors for adventures. Of course, most
of the time, it’s TIME that is the elusive factor and I
end up not going anywhere.
Last year or so I was into history themes, including a strong
American Indian influence such as Native American healing
techniques, and basket-making. That was a fun phase, but now
I am feeling drawn again to the outdoors.
My aunt did a summer as a volunteer ‘park ranger’ up in
Alaska. the pics she brought back were just stunning.
You are not really a ranger, just a volunteer helping
visitors with questions and getting settled in their camp,
but you get to spend the whole season there. that would
be such a kick!!!
