Camping

This weekend my wife and I went camping with a few of our friends. It was a car camping situation to be clear but thats okay I wasn't really feeling like a hike anyway. So we drove to the mountain we were planing to camp and when we got there the campsites were closed because they were going to be having a running event the next day. We drove to the top of the mountain to see the view anyway and we ate lunch which was pancakes. In Japan people put mayonnaise on pancakes, now I like mayonnaise but thats just crazy talk.

After we ate we drove back down the mountain and a little farther down from where the office campsites were we were able to find a location where we could set up camp, I'm not sure if it was actually a campsite but we made it one. It was pretty cold, I mean its November. We set up our tent and it was really big, about a four person tent. Other friends were showing up at this point some were going to stay the night and others were just going to hang out for a bit and eat some food. One of our friends showed up with his new girlfriend the topic of discussion later was that she was only 24 not that big a deal except that he is 42. I say good for him but the other women there were not as pleased. It was a fun night but when we went to sleep it was really cold the ground was really really cold. Oh and I forgot to mention that we left our sleeping mats home so that didn't help anything. In the morning it started to rain, if you know me then you know it wouldn't be camping if there was no rain. So it started to rain and wouldn't you know it the tent was leaking, another staple of my adventures in the wild. So we got up and started getting everything outside organized and packed. It was raining pretty good by this point and the worse part was the mud. It took awhile but we finally got everything all set and left to go home. It was nice but I wish we were one of the people who went home the night before.

Today the rain continued but my wife wanted to bring so old books and CDs to Book Off to sell them. I was able to find two GBA games there, Klonoa 2 and the Sword of Mana in the box.
