Capri's Traveling Treasure Box

Hello again! It's been a little while considering all the things I've done over the last couple of weeks!! WOW!!! Well I hate to disappoint you and say that I still won't have enough time to fill you in on everything....

For the last five days I've been backpacking in true wilderness caring a fully self sufficient pack, and have hiked easily over 100K. I'm happy to say I've finally gotten a shower : ) The views were absolutely amazing! I left with my friend Blair and Wil the day before thinking... lets go on a nice hike : ) Happy to admit we were very prepared! Originally it was a 3 day hike, but turned into 5 when we saw the amount of terrain we would cover. Unfortunately, I'll have to cut the story short (limited Internet time), but definitely ask me about it! Highlights: After a herd of cows got split up due to flooding, I mooed at one and it followed us a long ways down the track- back to the herd. After 4 long days of hiking we encountered a school group, and the teacher offered us cookies YES!!!!!!! Tons of gorgeous waterfalls, got lots of blisters- blister band-aids are ingenious!!! Jumped into a large freezing waterfall pool and washed up and "refreshed"- ended up with a HUGE PURPLE BRUISE from falling... oops....

I managed to get a traveling hammock- LOVE IT! Also I am now traveling with a guitar!! SWEET!!

So much to tell you really !!! I guess I'll just have that many more stories to share when I get Back!!!

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!! Oh and Merry Christmas too!!! If all goes as planned I'll be camping on the beach with a little decorated Christmas tree (shells and fishing line?) and be eating a feast!

Take care, I am thinking about you lots!! Getting a bit home sick over the holidays, so I am really looking forward to seeing everyone when I get Back!!! JANUARY 12 !!!!
