I have never seen such a beautiful camping picture in my life so i thought that I would share it. Imagine it is from the Ontario Parks website, meaning that such a beautiful spot exists in ontario! Based on the rock and water it is somewhere on georgian bay but you can never so so such...could be in the great canadian sheild, more inland from the bay. Makes me realize why I decided, even before I left for Europe, that I never want to move out of Canada (as Sanna says " never say never Lynn!":D. The house where I live has an absolutely beautiful garden and it is so nice to sit out in it on a nice night with candles, a glass of rose, some friends, or a book. As I was doing that exact thing last week it almost felt like I could have been at a cottage in ontario's "north" except for one thing: I could here the highway and airplanes flighing overhead. It did not destroy the experience but it did help me to realize how small the Netherlands really is. Even though I am surrounded by forest here I am still so close to busyness. Don't get me wrong I LOVE!!!! being so close to everything; biking distance even from Amsterdam I realized this past weekend; but this picture that I have posted speaks for itself:D. Happy wildernessing my dear Canadian friends. Be there with you in a month!

PS: I am not homesick right now...just enjoying everyday as it comes. Can't beat playing outside all day with sweet kids. I get to do all the fun kid things again without the stigma of being immature...could I ask for more?
