November 12
I’ve never seen so much sky. From here, I can feel the wind tugging at my pelt, as if asking me to fly.
We’ve had to tie all our supplies down so that it doesn't blow away.
The trek has been long. Bryn has stood up well to all the challenges. Last night, we got caught in a storm.
I expected her to get all upset, and mope around in the cave we had taken shelter in. But she seemed to enjoy the rain.
When the downpour lessened to a drizzle, she climbed out of our shelter and splashed about in the puddles.
She was soaking wet by the time she came back into the cave, but I’ve never seen her smile so much.
Bryn’s a funny girl. I often catch her staring out at the clouds, her mind miles away.
She likes to collect things she finds along the way: leaves, pebbles, feathers.
I can’t believe she’s strong enough to carry her collection, but she does it without complaint.
She’s not much of a talker, but she is good company on this long trip.
We will most likely reach the top of the mountain tomorrow.
I hope we make it down to the village before the snow hits.
