#TDBookWeek - The Road Home - Pt. 2

I started the morning working on my reports for the tour and reliving all the awesome memories. The mini-report is only supposed to be about 300 words. It was really hard to pull that off but the more impossible task was the full report. That was mandated to be 2-3 pages. I ended up at ten. How do you squeeze this experience into so few pages? I did finally whittle it down to six but I guess I have to work on it some more. I very much doubt it will stay within the guidelines.

Around noon Sandy came to the door and asked if I wanted to go for a walk by the beach. By then I needed a break so I said I was game.

We saw three graveyards. Graveyards around here are by the ocean because that's the only place where the soil goes deep enough. The graves themselves are covered in berries.

We hiked for a bit, but there was still a lot of snow so we couldn't go too far. Sandy encouraged me to try a Labrador tea leaf. It turned out to be a bad idea. For people around here, they have pretty much acclimated to this plant. But for the rest of us, the only way to try it is as a weak tea - not a whole leaf. Labrador tea is slightly toxic and an irritant to the digestive lining. Sadly my digestive lining didn't like Labrador tea one bit and I ended up spending the night in the bathroom.

I'm looking forward to returning home tomorrow. This place is great but I miss my family and I just want to see them again.
