Day 10

Still moving slowly. At a zombie's pace if you will. But I did observe an interesting thing this evening.

At some time around sunset the guide came upon a house which had a small gathering of zombies in the back yard. Unfortunately I couldn't safely get very close, but the pair of binoculars I picked up before I left came in handy.

What was so interesting about the interaction is how uneventful it was. I spent hours watching them sit around a table, apparently moaning back and forth and eating a few bits of human here and there. Perhaps it is just learned behavior, or them just mimicking their old lives, but ignoring the fact that they were dead, you would swear they were "hanging" out. Just casually enjoying the evening. It can only be described as bizarre, but also pleasant. Pleasantly bizarre.
