Dear all, today we're finishing the with the third of our chosen topics, and we'll have three more to go!! that means we're also very close to the end of this semester so cheer up!! it's almost going to be november!! you can do this!!
Now, this topic was voted for many of you, so I assume you have great camping stories. Here's my post:
I don't think I ever liked outdoor life as a child. I was stupid. hahaha I now love things related to nature, and being exposed to it, actually, to spend time around nature, is a marvelous thing I believe. Specially having no electricity around, and the posibility to observe the sky with little to none light pollution, is a privilege that not everyone gets to have these days.
One particular good camping story is the one I lived when I went to the north. We stayed along the coast of the regions of Antofagasta and Atacama, and one particular night, we parked the car near "Cañón Botija" and set the tents trying to use the car as a wind blocker (which was pretty strong at the moment when we were setting the tents and inflating our matresses).
After we were done setting everything, we were free to eat and smoke, which lead to an hour of relaxing, and then, the best part occured. We had talked during the day about stars and the sky, but now we had the whole sky for ourselves, no lights around, and only the sound of the waves crashing in the distance. My friend had an application installed in his phone which shows the map of the sky, with the different formation of stars and their names. It was amazing, when you're a kid you hear about some of the constellations and biggest stars' names, but this was different because not only I was able to understand their names, also their shapes, and more importantly, to use the stars as a means of guidance.
Even though the trip was specifically made to see cactus, this camping and the star gazing night was an excellent addition to the things I discovered that time :)
That's my post!
