We are doing nothing today...we slept till 10 and ate chex mix in the tent till 11.  Then we slept a little more.  Beck and I read our journals to eachother, and a lot of the stuff we said was really funny.  We had a lot of the same views on things, and we were in good moods and bad moods on the same days. HA!!
    We have one day left so I was just thinking about the whole of the trip.  It has been everything from amazing and beautiful and enlightening, to boring and excrutiating and discouraging.  It has been one of the most memorable and important experiences of my life, and it has been some of the worst two weeks of my existence.
    "Adreamer lives forever, but a thinker dies today."  So tomorrow, we will successfully dream and paddled our ways to Canada, and when we get back to Vermont, and to our homes, we will forget about the unimportant parts of the trip.  We will forget about the meaningless arguments we've had, the simple meals we've cooked together, and the petty, unexplainable, stupid characteristics of our fellow tentmates and canoers.
    However, we will remember, and keep using, the strength this trip has given us, emtionally and physically.  And we will remember the people that we have become truly close to in the past 15 days.  I just wanted to say thank you to everyone.
 

next day
