Don't ask me why, but rocking out to 'Wish you were Here' (Pink Floyd) in the living room and watching this video brought me to my knees remembering my own summer immersed in full-on nature in Yosemite National Park. We had a conversation in church today about FOOD and Paul and I were immediately transported back to a super cold summer night hiking from the valley up to Half Dome (old news for me having lived there to summer before) and being so hungry for something other than fruit and granola. These two Indian girls had cooked some Parmesean couscous and offered it. We died a thousand deaths as we ingested hot couscous and crawled into our tent - finally full and content - able to make a hella hike the next day.
photo from the wikipedia entry for Half Dome. I'd have to dig up and scan one of my pics... all film, baby.
