sunshine! clear blue skies! woohoo!!

took off first thing this morning, not willing to waste a bit of the fine weather. climbed up and around on a big rocky ridge that forms one side of the valley all morning... great stuff.

got back in time for a late-ish lunch and did chores around the hut, then settled in for a little afternoon nap. woke up almost 2 hours later (eek!) to find the hut positively swarming with people. 6 total in the past 3 nights, and 19 in tonight. go figure.

really fun crew, though. lots of good craic. just watched an incredible moon-rise through the few low clouds... which reminds me... woke up this morning to bright light shining in my face... sunrise! i've been hoping for a sunrise over the mountains at the top of the valley... rubbing eyes, trying to wake up... wait, it's only 5a... look again - that's not the sun going up but the moon going down! just putting off so much light it woke me up... unbelievable.
