Adaptation

How quickly we humans adapt.
We just spent a week in lovely Waskesiu Lake. We adapted quite nicely to.....
- a small, million year old cabin with no stove nor bathroom.
- mosquitos that will carry you away while injecting you with enough West Nile to sink a boat.
- a blistering 35 degrees Celcius the first day.....tornado touching down about 50 miles away the next day.
- walking to the outdoor bathroom in the middle of the night whistling away to scare any bear that might be lurking.

So day 1...cabin felt miniscule, mosquitos drove me batty, ate out cause couldn't think about cooking on a hotplate, ran to the outdoor bathroom flapping arms because of bugs while whistling because of bears.

Day 3....love cleaning that little cozy cabin ( only takes about 1 minute), hung around the dragon flies( they eat mosquitoes and they only look like they're dive bombing your head...they miss it at the last minute), cookin' up a storm on the hotplate(spaghetti, corn on the cob, killer coffee),walk leisurely to bathroom at 3 am waving arms gently and only making soft clicking noises to scare away the bear.

Day 6....don't bother cleaning cabin...the sand on the floor is exfoliating my rough heels, I am one giant mosquito bite so the little critters have no more skin to poke, jambalya, vegetarian chili on the hotplate with bar b qued chicken souvlaki and a margarita , strolling to bathroom at 3 am with no flashlight-camera at the ready so I can take a picture of the bear!

Had a great vacation. Next year we're going for 2 weeks!
