Up on a ridge at 3,100 feet, we rediscover the joys of simple life. Without TVs, cell phones, or other beeping distractions, our pace and pulse slows down. We gather for games and songs in a room that feels like a tree house fort. Each day begins and ends with a glorious pause as we all stop to salute the sun trading places with the moon and stars.
