what’s the best way to celebrate the birth of our nation? packing up some basic necessities, hopping on a bus 5 hours upstate, cooking with fire and sleeping in a tent on an apple orchard in moravia. this is a fact.



now, i should admit: sleeping in a tent and swimming in an ice cold lake—oh right, and boozing…probably not the best cure for someone (read: me) starting to come down with a dreaded summer cold at the beginning of the trip, considering it has since developed into one of those painful coughs…the type that makes me feel like my heart might burst out of my chest with every cough. (yes, i am paying for it now. and yes, it was completely worth it.)
good (and new) friends. good food. good fun. moravia!
