Moab

Every time I look at this picture I feel a bit of nostalgia for Moab. Yeah, it was just a few days that we were there, but I think I really got attached attached to this place. Jackie planned an amazing trip.

Friday
Got up around 6am after about maybe 3 hours of sleep. It was so hot that evening. I think it finally cooled off around 3am. I think just the whole experience of sleeping on solid rock was a little new for me. We pulled of some bacon and eggs for breakfast pretty easily, actually. It's amazing how inventive and creative you get when you have limited resources. I think we used some newspaper for our hot pads. Yeah, it worked just fine.

Driving into arches was pretty incredible. The rock formations were completely new to me... astounding, really.

Contemplation


Life, simply said, is joyous...
Triumph and failure
Hope and despair
Smiling and sobbing
Fresh and exhausted

It's amazing how in a day both darkest moments and greatest joys can be experienced. Light can penetrate the darkness that enshrouds us, and it will disperse if we look towards the light.
