camping
by the warmth of the fire
eating marshmallows
worked all day
kayaking down two rivers
in the sunshine
damnation
we’re tired as hell
having fun is work

This kinda stuff can sure take it out of you … I see some of our tourists here .. hours of bike riding (and remember here’s it’s more hills than dales), free climbing up the side of the mountains, wind surfing or kiting or sailing, kayaking … scuba diving .. hiking and trekking … usually living in a camper or tent … and they call that relaxing!
