wow! must have been really exciting to be able to see a meteor shower! i love the way you write by the way! oh and by the way, about ticks, its good to take precaution when removing as i had read somewhere that they carry lots of bacteria, and it could get transmitted to humans if you remove them the wrong way.

Truly spellbinding the view you had of the stars. I have seen a metor shower quite of few times, but not with that level of clarity (I live in the city).
I always love reading your descriptions-- the way you described the toilet was poetic "their exit reveals a near full toilet and a smell that crawls into things and takes up residence." It brought back my own vivid memories of concert porto-potties (blargh!)...
Can't wait to read your latest adventure!

It was quite a view. Almost made up for an intimate weekend with a drop toilet. Thank you so much for such lovely feedback. It encourages me to keep writing.

Your post made my laugh a few times. Stress gets the best of us from time to time. That's nothing a bit of nature can remedy. I'm glad you got to see the meteor shower. They are pretty epic if you catch a good one!

Wow these photos are truly breathtaking! I have a lot to learn about photography before my photos are anywhere near that, and I'm definitely taking notes on how you blogged. Great work all around @onethousandwords , I am definitely going to follow for more of this!

Your description is picturesque, auditory, olfactory and gustatory. Which is generally great, except when writing is intense enough that I smelled the loo! lol.
Excellent story. And a nice way to bring it back together at the end.

Laughing at your story about the outhouses, (Holes in the ground). I always imagine crazed people lurking at the bottom of them just waiting. Even in our "port o pottys" . I guess it's universal!! Fun story as always. Toasting you with a glass of wine now!!

ha ha I think the idea of someone at the bottom is more disturbing than a nearly full one! Cheers <3

Oh thanks, lol. I'm glad this got curied too. As I've said in the past, your work is so undervalued. I totally would have submitted this myself but I thought it was a bit risky given you'd been curied a couple of times already. 😡
