It is this little community up in the mountains maybe an hour from the school. their fame is mostly for apples because there are apple groves, from which they get apples to sell, carmel, candie, pie... basically whatever you can do to an apple. they sell honey and other sorts of fun foods and other little artsy trinkets. it smells almost as beautiful as it looks with the mountains and the colorful leaves. i mean, its no utah, but there was definately more color than you see on the palm trees on campus.

we had a picnic and a picture fest basically. there was a group of folks playing the banjo and bass and stuff outside, and after our picnic, and cider sampling, we went outside to dance a bit and ended up joining in on the music making. spoons and washboards luckily take no talent what-so-ever; all you need is a bit of rhythm.

after our musical release, we went on a "nature walk." sarah and carrie assumed the roles of lewis and clark, while i was sacajawea and andy was my papuche (chill out, that means kid) and the rest of the people were our mule herders. yes, i was with all seniors and we role-played explorers on an already carved out trail. what?
we ended the afternoon with an assortment of carmeled apples... my personal preference: carmeled apple dipped in milk chocolate.
