Reza and Iris stand at the campground office. They hold a map. Two campsites are open for the weekend.
"Site 4 is near the bathrooms," Reza says. "But it sits next to the road."
"Site 12 is near the lake," Iris says. "It is far from the bathrooms. We need to carry our bags a long way."
They look at the map together and think about the weekend ahead.
"I like the sound of the lake in the morning," Reza says.
"Me too," Iris says. "Let's carry our bags and take site 12."
They sign the papers at the office and drive to site 12. The lake sits past a row of tall trees. It looks calm and blue in the afternoon light.
They set up their tent close to the water. That evening, they sit outside. They watch the sun go down over the lake.
"No bathroom next door," Iris says, "but we have this view instead."
Reza laughs and passes her a cup of tea. "Good trade," he says.
