It was packed. Hot and steamy. Bathroom breaks were rare. And so was food. We arrived and it Was heavily filled. We left and it Was deserted. Wednesday. He fell. The ER Calling out our name but we Ignored it. Finally basic care was Met with an angry boy. Fighting To be left alone. 11:00 PM. We rushed and were helped. Patience is nowhere to be found. Barfbags, fake doctors, unicorns and More kept us company throughout the Night. Finally, we left too tired to do anything. It beckoned us to it’s comfy linens. To it’s warmth. We couldn’t resist. Just one night we said. We were fed one meal. Then we departed. The long journey would be over soon. One more Night and it would all be over. Friday. It was filled with canoeing and Kayaking. Flirting and 20-second relationships. Water fun and water incidents. Pain and relief. We were ready for home. Though another adventure awaited us the moment we arrived.
