Arrival at Starwood

Tuesday July 23, 2002

I woke up early and crept out of the large king size bed that we were all sleeping in, leaving the other two to their rest. Wandering about I spotted a Deepak Chopra book that I had been intending to read called the 7 Laws of Success. It turned out to be a fast read and I was able to read it all while everyone slept. F. called again and we spent time together trying to store it up before I would be out of touch camping (though I knew that there were going to be some cell phones available for my use during Starwood). We headed off to finish our trip to Starwood later than we had planned but it was ok. We had a nice leisurely morning. M drove. We ate dinner at a Ruby Tuesday. The food was good but it took an hour to get the food in the first place and I was not pleased about that.

At Starwood places had been saved for our tents and we hugged and greeted many of our tribe on the way into the tent site. Our May Prince and Princess, DM and Joyful, were there to show us the way:) It was great to see everyone. After the tents were set up I headed off to greet more people. I went off to borrow a cell phone (it was after 8 pm and so in the free minutes time for their plan) to call F. and let him know that we had arrived safely but he wasn't there. I left a message. I sat at Ronn's fire and visited with him for some time before calling F. again. This time I got him and we were able to talk as I walked about the CAWmunity area between tents, down paths in the Fairy woods.
