And, since I discovered it, I usually take my Ipod along. There is something about listening to Mendelssohn or Mozart while watching the sun go down that I really enjoy.


Really strikes home as a good HYOH example for me. It's funny that. I'm a band geek, and a computer geek, I typically listen to music everywhere and can really understand that. The interesting thing is since I'm usually not without an ipod or a laptop full of mp3's and headphones, I just do *not* take them backpacking.. I can't really explain why, I've thought about it, (I agree, mozart's perfect) and always decided "no, I'm happier without" - I've got an ipod shuffle, so it's tiny tiny. I wouldn't get on an airplane without it, but for some reason the thought of taking it backpacking is just, somehow, not right for me in my frame of mind when I head out.
