Three Cheers for the Wild!

It's not all bad to be a barbarian, though. In fact, I recently went on this trip, where we spent a weekend in the middle of a forest. There was lots of trees in there, yep. Lots of dirt, too. We had no Internet, no television, no nothing. The highest technology we used were the two sticks we rubbed together to make fire. Well, ok. There was plenty of stuff that was higher technology, but the sticks were definitely the coolest. Overall, the trip was great. We all had a blast and there was lots of pretty things everywhere. Luckily, I had my camera with me.

This is Cassandra. She's a pretty thing.
Look how happy she is under that pile of leaves!


This man was our guide. He is a moderately pretty thing, I guess (In a completely heterosexual way). Whenever he talked, he always used to stop for a bit and check for predators, like a swift gazelle.
This is one of those special moments.


This is our fire. It's bright and sparkly and once it almost exploded in our face. We couldn't get it to light up and a friend of ours decided to throw some propane in and make things easier. Then, the propane can itself caught fire and it took a lot of shouting and stomping to put it out.
One false move and I wouldn't be alive to tell the tale.


So you see, even without Internet and television, you can still have an exciting and explosion-ridden time.
My ancestors knew this and now I do too: When it comes to explosions, Romans are unnecessary.
