so...i went camping.

I should say it straight out...I am not a camper.

However, I joined scout(yes, girl scouts...very different than in the US) and we had a 5 day camping trip this weekend. basically the entire school does scout and went camping. Around 300 people. All of the scout leaders are alumni of the school and scout is done through schools here. There for everyone who went goes to "San Juan Evangelista."

anyway...
It was really fun...i fell in the mud right when we got there and my
feet got covered in mud because i sank...we arrived at 11pm. we were
able to bath in a lake...gross but i was like i need to rinse off. i
cut my foot on something in the water...it rained saturday, so more
mud...the rest of the days were nice...freezing at night. took a while
to set up our huge 10 person at 11pm with only a flashlight. there were
only 5 ppl in my tent. the food was actually pretty good. i am not a
fan of going ot the bathroom in the woods but with toilet paper is
wasnt that bad...we did a lot of bonding activites which were really
fun. nights were freezing cold and went to sleep everyday around
2/3am and had breakfast at 9am...scout here has wierd cultish ceremonies/song
things that they do alot. interesting but litereally reminded me of a cult haha

i have another camping trip in 3 weeks...halloween weekend...lucky for me halloween doesnt exist here :(

i will be sure to take pictures next time.
