week forty-two — the dark

somewhat on a whim, Lindsay and i drove three hours to the middle of nowhere last night in an attempt to catch the northern lights, which were rumored to be visible throughout the northern half of the US. we didn’t end up seeing them (hopefully the iceland adventure next year will prove more fruitful), but we did encounter a super-creepy phone booth, befriend a cat, and enjoy a sky free of light pollution. Lindsay even saw a shooting star for the first time in her life! i’ll count this as a successful adventure 🙂
