Meeting people from around the world has been wonderful. Especially when we really connect! Unfortunately, this results in a lack of sleep many of the nights, and I feel sad saying bye to such wonderful people after a few short days with them.
On the way back it finally started getting cooler around 5 p.m. so we wandered over to Rose Valley for some exploration. This was probably my favorite part of the day. The sun was finally bareable and the lighting on the landscape was perfect.The trails are endless, you could spend weeks walking just this one valley. We explored some old chimneys and scrambled unsuccessfully up a hillside. After what seemed like a never ending adventure ended with a beautiful sunset and dinner at Top Deck. Man I love that place. The power went out right after we ordered our food, but nobody int eh restaurant seemed to care and we continued to eat by candlelight. It was a great couple of days with some great conversation. Late lights lounging with Raki, stargazing, and talking until the sun came up. I love life and meeting great people.
