Acadia Day 3: My Day of Rest and Relaxation

Today was a must-needed rest day for me. Candice, Edith, and I overslept...the first time I checked my phone, it was 8:08 a.m. Cabin 16 is sincerely sorry, Jessica and crew. We drove over to the Wildwood Stables and took a horse-drawn carriage tour! Our horses were named Bud and Bill, and they were as charming as the view. We had a splendid, pleasant morning driving through the "hills that are called mountains."

After the carriage ride, we split off into groups to either go back to the camp, or go into Bar Harbor for the afternoon. My heart was set on going into Bar Harbor and sitting out on the grass overlooking the water, maybe while drinking a nine dollar coffee. I climbed into the van after Candice, sat down in the seat, and then all of a sudden, an overwhelming wave of fatigue washed over me like the waves at Sand Beach. I was not making it to Bar Harbor as a happy camper. I consulted Dale, and then I hopped into the shotgun seat of the white van.

Most of my day was spent doing homework, and bonding with more of my teammates. I lounged in bed, listened to lots of music (Lana Del Rey), filmed my first successful reel, ate two hot dogs and four golden-brown marshmallows, got interviewed by Maci, watched the sunset with Emma, Mallory, and Libby, and am currently have a deep conversation with my roommates. Candice and Edith when you see this, I love you guys. I am going to shake the remnants of outdoors off of my bedsheets, fill up my water bottle, go check out the stars with Dale, and go to bed so I wake up for our call time tomorrow in a timely manner!
