Port Arthur

"If a society is to preserve stability and a degree of continuity, it must learn how to keep its adolescents from imposing their tastes, values, and fantasies on everyday life."
Eric Hoffer

Another year, another waste of academic time for a camp - this time to Port Arthur. When they could pry their eyes from their phones, the self-absorbed saw tremendous natural beauty wrapped around buildings that oozed palpable pain.

An amazing place, wasted somewhat on the studied boredom of youth. Still, makes a change from geometry and anyway when is that stuff used in real life?
