Sunny Sunday. What better way to see the countryside.   What was it Albert Einstein said? “Life is like riding a bicycle, to keep your balance, YOU MUST KEEP MOVING.” You’d think he’s been listening to class at the UnCamp. [/caption] what’s next?

See You Later

By Hinda Leah Sharfstein | July 22, 2015

On Tuesday, we were sugar addicts pulled over to the side of the road, licking the last few teaspoons of our pint-sized carton of ice cream, wistfully dreaming of more. On our last trip day, we did things we’ve tasted before. Clear skies mirrored in clear water. Acrylic paintbrushes dabbing expertly on blank canvases. Soft […]

Busy Days Discovering Nature and Ourselves

By Hinda Leah Sharfstein | July 13, 2015

Hi, you. Come. Today, you’re joining us. Get on the school bus. Tuck your legs underneath you. Today, we’re going to have The Outdoor Experience.

(Refer to photos when words do not suffice.) P.S. This was pre hike. The background cars will disappear. The beauty of the park can not be attributed solely to the […]

At 11 AM on Wednesday morning, our bus came r o l ling in (take note of the foreshadowing, please) and we hopped on, country girls clutching our lunch bags for an adventure to town. Windows pulled open, doors pulled shut, we followed the trail (road) until there was none left to follow (when the GPS announced our arrival) […]

———————————Our Week In Review———————————

By Hinda Leah Sharfstein | July 1, 2015

Ready? Let’s get to it. Friday was a let’s-loosen-up-with-nature-and-connect-to-our-souls day. Soulful connection being optional, but impossible to resist. We biked and then hiked down a winding trail, surrounded by the rushing sound of the Minnehaha Falls, the wind softly ruffling our feathers (hair) and the muted chirping of birds the background music to our quiet […]
