We're home. SO out of it. I'm making tacos, now, so hopefully we'll start feeling better. Tacos represent normalcy, I guess, because somehow we both feel that's what we need to start getting ourselves shaken out of this strange spaceyness. The van is unloaded - I stripped it of just about everything - and we've got dishwasher and laundry going, so we're well on the way to getting everything else back to normal.

We did hang out with

cyberquail,

littleredhead and

groundctrl yesterday, but the King Richard's Faire was canceled on Saturday on account of the rain - can you believe it! "The horses can't joust, the tigers can't come out, the dancers can't dance." How lame. We camped through it, and the vendors don't want to sell food and clothes and stuff?

Actually, though, they gave us two comp tickets and Eor and I went in for a little while this morning, and we think possibly it was all a lot more flooded than they said - it was still pretty wet. They decided to have the sword fights on foot in a crushed rock area rather than in the arena.

Anyhow, since we couldn't go to the Faire and we all only had the one day together to hang out, yesterday we went in to Plymouth and wandered through the shops and had Indian food, which was quite worthwhile and fun. :)

I'm so glad you got to go to the Faire for at least a little while on Sunday, and that you made it home safely. I hate to say this (though it may come as no surprise), but not even half an hour after you drove out of the campground, the sun came out. The weather was just fine for DAJ day, and there was one quick rainstorm while I was driving from Mashpee to Sagamore (went to my brother's house for a couple hours before heading back to camp), then it was dry all night; very strange and eerily silent to sleep in the tent without the rain drumming on the tarp all night!

Very much looking forward to repeating the adventure next year!

Hugs!
