It´s hailing.  Or rather it´s snowing giant snowballs the size of frozen
peas and corn.  The snowman ´Nuevo´, made by Chloe, Zac and Jade has now
fallen in the storm.  But Zac is relentless and has not only restored him,
but gave him legs to stand on!  We are warm and dry in the mess tent,
drinking anis and chamomile tea, and munching on fresh popcorn.  Life
surely is tough.

Not much to report.  We gunned it into camp today, arriving with the
entire afternoon to play.  Chloe and Nat played soccer with the boys,
while Jade and Renee scored at the same time as reading their novels.  I
was back and forth from the tent to the river to bathe and soothe my
burning feet in the icy water.

Yesterday I had an allergic reaction to foot warmers (or so we think) and
my feet and legs burned up like pretty severe sunburn, but from the inside
out!  Totally random and weird.  At least now my feet are warm at night.

Yesterday was a rest day at a campsite with hot springs, so it was really
nice to be able to wash our clothes and rest our muscles.  We had a little
group in the afternoon which was cool.  It got a little deep and we all
shed a small tear or two.  I must say I feel as though Jade has softened.
