Riding the Waves for a Letter
The mailbox is about a kilometer from our house, and Sam usually check it while driving. But since the weather was nice that day, I decided to go by kayak. The blue sky and green trees reflected on the lake, with the sparkling waves, seemed to herald the beginning of an adventure. When I arrived […]
