Into the wild

I'm heading to Algonquin Park later today, as soon as my canoe buddies tell me they ae on their way yo get me. I can't wait! It has been so long since I went on a canoe trip, I am very excited. We are not doing a full out trip, since not everyone going is experienced. We are going to make a base camp and do some day trips from there. Not sure yet if portaging will be included in those - either way I'm happy. My bags are packed and sitting by the door.

I'm still reading up a storm, trying to get through all the books I checked out of the library before they are due. I know I can just take them out again but I hate not reading a book the whole way through. I know some people can read multiple books at once, but I can't. Once I start it, I have to keep going until the end. I have a little stack on my dresser of the books I have out, in the order I need to read them. I am currently making my way through Sherlock Holmes -it is huge. I checked out the complete works, so it has all the short stories and the Hound of the Baskervilles novel. Hopefully the long ride to Algonquin and back will give me lots of time to finish it, as it is due back Tuesday night. I think that's enough time.

Went to the Kings of Leon concert the other night, it was wicked. And the rain was nice and happened early, and not during the concert. We had seats in the uncovered area, so a rainy concert would not have been nearly as much fun. The amphitheatre was packed though. It's been so long since I've been to a concert there that I forgot how huge it was. The lawn was packed too, you could barely tell that there was any grass. I guess the rain didn't deter anyone!
