They're heated, but since the walls are so thin, they didn't stay very warm. But despite being constantly cold, I loved being there with my family. We canoed, walked, rode bikes, played Scrabble, ate good food, sat around and read . . . ahhh, how relaxing it was not to have to even think about school or homework!
Now I'm back. It felt strange returning to Houghton, I miss my family, and I'm not looking forward to class tomorrow. In a way, though, it is nice to be here. I'm with my friends, I don't have to walk outside to get to a bathroom or sink (the yurts didn't have running water), and it's warm. The latter alone is enough to make me happy to be at Houghton. :)
What a neat yurt, Tabitha! It sounds like you had a wonderful, relaxing break. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, I didn't know that a yurt was a camping-out option! I was just reading about those, so cool! :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you do well after coming back. Curious... what was the break for?
They have an October break every year, I guess because they think we need it after being here a month and a half. ;)
ReplyDeleteTab,
ReplyDeleteWe are all delighted to have heat again as well! Great pictures! Dad took a nice hot shower when we got home and now he feels warm again!

How cool! Not many people can say they've lived in a yurt!
ReplyDeletethat is neat! I had always wondered about the practicality vs. the asthetics of yurts! :)
