lil' campers

We went camping last weekend with a couple that Yago works with.  I have to say I was nervous... I never get much sleep and I hate bugs and being dirty.  That said, it went surprisingly well.  Yago made some great camp food but I'm not sure how much more grease my body could have digested.  I ate a bowl of bran cereal as soon as we got home.

We were woken up Saturday night by a fight at a neighboring campsite.  Some guy drove by screaming, "Motherfu@#er!" at the top of his lungs, it woke the kids up too.  We heard one of the guys recounting punching a family member in the face.  When Yago went out to go to the bathroom and see what was going on he heard someone say something about a gun.  After that he called the cops.  Not cool to be camping next to hillybilly rednecks talking about guns.

Oh, I almost forgot.  We went tubing down the river.  Sounds fun, right?  Not if at the beginning you find a leech on your leg!  ARGH!  You know what's worse than bugs?  LEECHES!  I got it off my leg but then it was stuck on the innertube.  Oh, the humanity.  I wish I could say I didn't spaz out but I cannot.  Then a dragonfly on me.  I was screaming like a little girl when Debbie asked me if I was screaming because I saw a snake.  SNAKE?!  Dear lord.  She said she thought the dogs were keeping them away so I tried calling the dogs to me but they were so far ahead they completely ignored me.  Oh my god.  I was so tense... trying to keep my butt out of the water and doing constant leech checks.  Not fun.
