A Misunderstanding

The most exciting thing that happened to me this weekend was going on a "bonding hike" with the girls tennis team. We were all expecting some quick nature walk, chatting along the way, having a good time. We were so wrong. Our coach didn't make it sound like we were going on anything rigorous when in fact it ended up being just that. Only one person thought to bring any water on the hike and none of us wore what we should have. I myself was wearing a pair of Sperry's. The hike was about two and a half miles up and the same back, however, about a mile of it was going over sharp jagged boulders with ten foot drops in between. A mile may not seem that long, well  let me tell you that when you are going over boulders uphill it feels like at least ten miles long. Add to that that once you thought you had reached the top you saw another hill of boulders and finally another. That was rather disheartening, however, we all made it to the top, enjoyed the view for about twenty minutes and went back to the cars. While this does not compare to a New York City level of excitement it was still exciting to do and the view was breathtaking.
