Under the stars

Ya know how fantastic it is to get out of civilization for an evening? Pretty darn fantastic! Especially when I'm lying in my tent under the stars next to Amanda and Iszie after having girl talk for the last solid hour listening to the stragglers around the fire sing "the Blowers daughter" by Damien Rice. It's the perfect end to this beautifully full day. Connor and I had a lengthy discussion about intimate things on the way up to our campsite. Then we just kinda chilled. I'm so happy to be here in this place at this time. We star gazed for a long while tonight, it makes me so aware of the vastness of the universe and how beautiful and breathtaking it is. Joseph and his friend set up a telescope away from main camp and we stumbled upon them and got to see Saturn and it's rings and Venus or Jupiter, we never figured out which. It has been a 5 shooting star kind of evening and I'm so glad to be here. Life is beautiful and I'm excited to go home and unpack tomorrow.
