Clarion Day 2 - Climbing the Snake

After dinner I accompanied a few Clarionites taking a hike up the snake pathway up to the library. The snake walkway was a beautiful experience, almost meditative to observe the changing scale colors while hiking. Then we got library cards! I have no idea if I will use my card, but it's nice to have, just in case. Also, right near the library is a tree made entirely of metal. A singing tree? But, alas, it did not sing for us.

Kelly Link is, quite simply, quietly awesome, and my Clarion classmates are amazing, insightful, and full of amusing anecdotes and factoids. The second day is almost over, and I feel like I've been here for two weeks! Loving it!!

Advice for future Clarionites: Bring sunscreen, jackets, and use them! I forgot to wear sunscreen, and now I'm burnt! Thankfully I brought aloe vera gel.
