Friends and Fires Under the Stars

I was remembering the scene from Chocolat where Johhny Depp and Juliet Binoche were dancing on the boat under the stars. It was so sexy. I thought the movie was ok, but I loved the feeling I got from the group of gypsies communing aroung the campfire.

I think I like life most when outside with friends. I remember watching sunsets with the politicos up on the hill behind my trailer in Moscow, campfires after a day of treeplanting or hiking or canoeing or climbing. I remember relaxing in the backyard of Hermosa after a John Henry day project or just because. I remember chopping vegetables in Nemo with children and dogs checking in and wandering off for their various adventures. I love it all.
