SUNNY, CLOUDY, SUNNY

The weather is amazingly changeable here! It started out sunny, but somehow, over coffee and extended deep and fascinating (to us) discussion, we got a very late start on the day. By the time we had hiked about an hour away from our campsite (a scrambly, steep climb up and around the mountain right behind our site, which finally opened up into a lovely valley fed by multiple dramatic washes) the dark clouds had rolled in. Once returned, I took up residence in a camp chair and read 19th century literature (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle - T.V.'s "Elementary" and "Sherlock" are okay, but nothing beats the originals!) for awhile, until the sun shone brightly again, and beyond then. A day well spent, indeed.
