I've been frequenting the trail to Two Harbors pretty often this weekend, adding another trip to town this morning. This one was rather unplanned, as I was rudely awakened by Hannah telling me I should get up and go hiking with them.
My quads were pretty sore from all the uphill hiking and running I've been doing, so getting up the normally not-that-bad Deer Valley trail was a lot more painful than I expected.
I snapped a shot of the Wrigley campus as I was coming back down the hill so you guys can get a sense of where's where. The light blue building closest to the harbor is the dive locker where we store all the diving gear. The larger beige building to the right of it is the Hyperbaric Chamber, where they treat dive accidents.
Going uphill from the waterfront, the largest three tiered building is where our lecture hall, lab rooms, and library are located. Directly across from that is the brown administration building (it's almost blended in with the hill) where we can send/receive mail or sign up for boats leaving the island. The arena-looking circle in front of the administration building is an amphitheater that we never use, and between the amphitheater and the admin building is a volleyball court.
Farthest back is the group of buildings that consist of the dining hall (the building with the white columns to the very right) and the dorms. We're in the dorm building directly connected to the dining hall, but some of the other buildings to the left are actually cabin-styled cottages.
Due to the soreness of my calves, I wasn't feeling very excited about more physical activity, so I spent a lot of the rest of the day watching the Olympics. Looking at all the hubbub in Sochi makes me feel like we're watching a world completely removed from our little island- which, in most senses, we are.
And I wouldn't have it any other way.
