Out of touch

It's not so easy being out of touch with the world...hardly any phone signal, inconsistent internet access.  On the other hand, I like the fact that I'm dealing primarily with more immediate needs and that I get to experience living without the demands of "staying in touch."  In the "real" world, people expect instant response--an email or text message is sent, and you should reply quickly.  Which ties us more and more to our electronic umbilical cords.  Here at camp, however, we get a reminder that there are plenty of things we can do and think about that DON'T require us to be plugged in all day long.
