Jeanine and I surprised Maya, arriving at her camp by way of kayak to great her this morning. The secluded camp is reached easily by water and the early morning paddle was most enjoyable featuring a close encounter with a family of loons. When we returned with the car, Maya introduced us to her many friends and counselors and then gave us a tour which included the new chicken coup she had helped to construct during her stay (smaller structure next to the barn). We also got to see her open air living quarters and were introduced to many of the domesticated animals. Tomorrow the family leaves for a ten day vacation to Wyoming and I will not have a chance to post again until we return.
