Where Am I?

The fun continues! This morning our Wilderness Medicine class headed over to the Charlottesville Airport to learn about air rescue, landing zones, and the UVA Pegasus team. At the end of class, we all received badges with "LZ COORDINATOR" stitched in. Sunny and I joked that we should add "LU" to the beginning of it to make it "LULZ COORDINATOR." We are much better at creating lulz than we are at creating landing zones, after all. For example, this lul:

HA! Sam and Sunny flying a helicopter? Let's all hope we never live to see the day.

Air rescue was followed by orienteering, where we learned how to use a map and a compass to get us out of the woods if we get lost. Ideally, of course, we wouldn't get lost in the first place. We put our newfound skills to the test this afternoon when we had to hike around an area of the Rivanna Trail in teams of three or four looking for markers that had been placed in advance. At the end of the excursion, we were all tired, hungry, and ready for some Ben & Jerry's. Kyle, Lee, and I set out to consume a Mini-Vermonster in the most tender way possible.

After that first bite, we proceeded to finish the remainder of the four scoops of ice cream topped with fresh baked brownie, chocolate chip cookie, banana, hot fudge, whipped cream, Reese's Pieces, and sprinkles in the next five minutes. Best.
