The Day I Got Close To Nature.

Yesterday we went on a twelve mile hike at Windy Hills Preserve with Alex's friends.
Dr "M" was our awesome hike leader, who knew the trails very well.  There were nine of us.....eight Persians and moi. :-)

Hike started around 930am. This is my recollection of the day.
Ahhhh such beautiful day....walking....walking...walking....snack break....more walking....oh no my tummy hurts.....walking, walking, walking....tummy getting worse, think nice hike....oh no, I better tell Alex....are you okay, I think so, do you have to go, no I'm going to try to wait....more walking, walking....think nice hike....start looking for potential spot....oh god can't wait anymore....Dr "M" holds the group back ...Alex and I go ahead.....I find a semi-secluded spot....instruct Alex go away, far away and come back in fifteen minutes, that long?..ok ten...but go away....done in five...feel like a new woman now....proceed with hike....lunch break...nice variety of food everyone brought....tea too...continue with hike....getting warm now.... getting tired....reflecting on the day.....are we there yet.....almost back to parking lot....okay we made it!
Got home, showered and long nap.....zzzzz.
Perfect day for hiking. Clear & beautiful.
