Nature.

Bushkill Falls is like a different world. After walking through the taxidermy museum's exit, we suddenly found ourselves in a place like something you associate with Peter Pan and Never, Never Land. The wooden stairs and walkways make the whole place seem like a giant treehouse inhabited by the Lost Boys. When you're in a forest that thick, everything is calmer, cooler, and greener. The air was so fresh and clean. The Falls themselves created this relaxing white noise (that also made it very difficult to carry on a conversation), which pushed all other thoughts from my mind. If I could build a house in those woods, I would. Without a doubt. The picture above is from the Delaware Valley Lookout that we hiked up to. The view was worth the 300 stairs we had to climb.

After eating lunch, we drove over to the Delaware Water Gap, specifically Turtle Beach. We shared a short stretch of sand (or sandy dirt) with 6 other people. The sun was out. The water was cold. My friends and I laughed. It was perfection.
