ROAD TRIP, Day 8: East Harbor State Park, Ohio

Hello from Ohio! We are camping within sight of Lake Erie. It's kind of awesome. And cold, but that's okay. Today was another really awesome day.

( We're at the East Harbor State Park tonight )

I had a list. But somehow it got covered in mud and then soaked in the lake and I don't remember what was on it. (Also I'm just kind of tired and cold and I want to go snuggle and sleeep and hide in the sleeping bag.)

So--number of times Cissie has flaked on The List: 4. I'm half and half at this point.

Friends don't let friends repress

Things had been remarkably drama-free since arriving in Yosemite on Friday night--whether it was the drinking that night, or being able to spend a few days out of the van, or finally getting used to being together 24/7, Cissie wasn't sure. But she wasn't going to complain. Even two days in the van heading home had been surprisingly stress-free, save the brief tension between Cassie and Bart when they kind of argued about empathy. They seemed to have moved on quickly, but it reminded Cissie that she had been meaning to find some time to talk with Cassie--if Cassie would open up and actually talk.

She waited until sunset on Wednesday night, when everyone was hanging around the campfire or off teasing swans, in Kon's case. Then she grabbed her camera and cornered Cassie while she was in her tent, asking her if she wanted to go down by the lake to take pictures of the sunset with her.
