June 2001

It wasn't all just romping on the beach and skirmishing with ebuillient cetaceans. Oh no. While there was a certain frenzy for outdoors play in the first couple of days, things swiftly mellowed out. People found other things to do, like cooking, reading, playing games, and, of course, napping heavily. There was even a time when everyone ascended to the peak of a tall erect column, which was not nearly as dirty as it sounds. Finally, there came the day when everyone packed up and left an empty house behind. How sad.
