Camping With The Scouts...

That was a first... I hadn't been able to camp out with the scouts so far. Since I've been overwhelmed with school and a lot of things fill my schedules lately... Last weekend I finally took some time to camp out :)
It was a great experience!
SO... what we did: Saturday 3:30 pm... we met at the Bus Station, took the bus to this tiny pueblo -gins-  from there we took a taxi to the waterfalls... wait... waterfalls?! :O yeah... well by the time we got to the waterfalls it was almost dark, so first thing we did... look for firewood. there wasn't a lot of it... mostly were twigs ... plus it was super humid... so you can imagine, our fire turned out to look more of a smoke signal than anything else :P...

smoke signal...

weeee

Us girls :)

Our dinner!
Now, for dinner we had quesadillas and beans... and these hot dogs.... enourmos hot dogs... and tiny hot dogs :P we cooked it all in the fire (yeah, I feel so accomplished)
cooking

The tiny hot dogs...

Hooodiess!!
Our super cool chef made for us a cup of hot chocolate... 'twas soo good! cause damn it was cold!! like freakishly cold!
the pouring of the chocolate
I do have to admit... sleeping in the same tens as 5 other people does keep you warm :D altho my sleep was horrblue (cause i slept on the floor... and i'm used to my matress) I had a great time!
and the drinking of it
Next morning we woke up with... (I would say the sunrise... but it was soo cloudy we couldn't see the sun...) the cold... and turned out smoke signal on once more... (to heat up and stuff)
when we were hungry we started cooking.... PAncakes!! yeah.. bottle bancakes :P the kind you justadd milk to and cook... :D

The pancake bottles :D and our chef

shakeing vigorously

and cooking.. smoked pancakes :D



EEeeeeeeeee

Taking in the fresh.... smoke?
So a hungry dog came along... and he looked so miserable... we just wanted to feed him! so we did... gave him the leftover from last night's hotdogs and some left over milk, beans and tortillas, he was one happy dog in the end

So.... we picked our camp up, and walked along the top of the waterfall... it was a small waterfall.. nevertheless a pretty one :)
