Chapter 21

The fact that Mary is allergic to horses gives the two a reason to reconsider their stay, and it seems that Eric is the one that feels that he might not meet some of the requirements of the community. I am glad they've experienced their curiosity and now return to civilization to hopefully live a more fulfilling life. The decision to leave is an emotional one as they have learned a lot of lessons and have formed a lot of friendships throughout their time here. Most importantly, Eric found the answer to his question of how much technology is really needed: no more than what the Minimites were using. Overall it was a great learning experience and I hope they get to apply some of their findings in the modern world.
