Ian Lewis' Blog

This past weekend I went to my friend Matt's house in Cambridge, MD on the Eastern Shore. It was good to see him again since I don't go to see him very often. Though we haven't been able to get together very much since I left school, we still have managed to keep in touch regularly on IM and I feel like he'll be one of my lifelong friends.

We went Kayaking on the Blackwater Wildlife Reserve (map) (which, as I've mentioned earlier in my blog, has a plan to develop new homes on it, see here to learn more). It was really fun and it was nice to do a good easy going, low-tech activity, since most of the time I feel like I'm bombarded with the fast pace of life in the digital age. It also, helped me to realize just how important wildlife reserves are to the local animal populations. We didn't have to work very hard to see Egrets, Cranes, Ducks, and fish. Not to mention the impact that developing on watershed like that would have on the Bay.

Anyway, I had a good weekend hanging out with my friend and kayaking. We made tentative plans to do it again in August and I'm looking forward to it.
