The CK Daily – Time Away & A Successful Camping Trip
Happy Monday!
We made it safely back from our long weekend camping trip and it was a bit rainy, but great nonetheless. We went back to DeSoto Falls Recreation Area to camp, which is in North Georgia, about 30 mins away from Cleveland, GA. The kids had fun playing in the creek steps away from the campsite and made a couple of friends from the campsite next door. I enjoyed cooking on the campfire and taking naps in my hammock.
On the last full day of the camping trip, one of our neighbors who I can only positively describe as a Turkish Santa Claus (when we first met he wore a Santa hat and had a great white beard, but was a fit 57 year old dude), invited me over for dinner. It turns out he and his Turkish friends (one who flew in from the Netherlands), decided on a whim to go camping. The Turkish Santa Claus, as it turns out, was also a FreeMason and a vegetarian, and a very good cook. We had some Turkish tea, a rice dish, salad, and all manner of grilled vegetables. One of his friends also shared some baklava flown in from Turkey the night before, and it was the best baklava I’ve ever had. This was at first an awkward interaction, but as we settled down for the meal, it felt great to connect with people that I wouldn’t have normally connected with. These guys happened to be Muslim, and that added another interesting dynamic. There were many similarities and certainly differences between our culture and religions, but it was a great experience overall.
Other than that I’m praying for safety for the folks down South dealing with Hurricane Betty. I hope you have a great day and a wonderful week!
