Wow. That is all I have to say on the subject of my trip. I am still not home yet, that shall be tomorrow at about 6pm. But to this point I have had a great time, besides the first two days alittle boring they were.
Anyway the rest of my vacation has consisted of a trip to a cabin owned by my grandma. Took up 12 hours to get there and it is on a huge lake that is cut in half by the border. We were with out electricity and the only running water was that from a small storage tank atop a 20ft tower, the whole exp. was completed by the using of and outhouse too. We fished everyday, and caught a good many walleye (we were able to take home 13 and had enough to eat every other night). The best part about the whole exp, cept for the fact that I found out I am quite able on skis even though it was my first time, was the star gazing. There was probably a shooting star every 45 sec or so, and some of them looked like large bottle rockets with a smoke trail and everything. You were able to see the streek across the sky of the milky way and you would not believe the amount of satallites that flew past, there was always one visible. The last night I was there there was the most magnificent display of the northern lights ever, the only thing that would make that better would have been different colors but I was content with the boring old white. Oh yes and there was the one time we saw the randomly flashing lights flying quite sparatically, say what you wish but my cousin and I were both kinda wierd about it....so yeah that was my trip, good times...maybe in a few years if all of you are really really good you can go up with me!
