Adventure Seekers and The Garden of Eden

My friend said she knew the way to the Garden of Eden.

With twenty-pound packs and adventure seeking husbands, we journeyed passed mail-carrying horses (Yes, some mail still makes its way to recipients by horse in the US!) and down ten, rocky miles to the village of Supai. 

One fading headlamp guided us away from a pack of stray dogs and through miles of cactus, laden fields, all while turquoise waterfalls pounded on.

And although ten mile, Grand Canyon adventures prove unforgetable, it's the conversation with forever friends drenched in dreams and laughter that lingers in my head.

In one sentence, tell about your favorite adventure. Somewhere far and exotic? Somewhere local and stunning?

Happy holiday weekend, friends. Hope the next few days bring conversation drenched in dreams and laughter.
