Hard to believe we’re already deep into Week 2 Domains, but the photographic evidence from Domain Week 1 does not lie. (These photos are your conduit to the full Week 1 Domains gallery – just click on your favorite shot, then, write one of the campers depicted therein a lengthy, candy-free letter detailing how dull life seems without them, then click Back to Photo Album.)

And for those who’ve written in for details of last week’s Underground Economy Domain’s Commoner’s Trading Post all we can say is wow. At 5:35 last Friday, our campfire area was transformed into an open air market where the most popular currency was blueberries, and anything edible fetched a pretty price. Some notable swaps:

A mask for a birch bark mug

A hand massage for a joke about a whale

A pair of pine branch “antlers” for a miniature ax

Ten cookies for a plaster cast of Allen’s face

One cookie for a story

Wintergreen for a tarot reading

Several of those receiving boiled lotus root were grateful to be permitted to rinse their mouths with blueberry jam, especially since this elixir was technically being held in reserve for those who had contributed to the Blueberry Fund throughout the week.

Behold!

In Journey to the Sun Project News, , the stage is a up! Not only is it a brilliant blue-screen blue, it is – fittingly – the sunniest place in camp, a resource we’ve been rich in lately.
