My first post

You always remember the first time right? Since this is my first my blog, bear with me people, especially when it comes to posting photos. I'm not in Costa Rica yet but I figured I'd recap my last weekend on home soil. A bunch of us went camping in Western MD and it was the perfect send-off. I'm sure I'll post some more introspective life is a journey type inspirational musings once I get to Costa Rica, but for now I now present the abridged high(low)lights of the weekend with pictures to follow soon:

-Beer, when you're camping, it's what's for breakfast, lunch and dinner!

-CO2 cartridges, do not expose to high temperature warning = throw in the campfire = explosion on par with improvised explosive device.

-Dave getting serenated to a Jesus hymn by random camper guy while he was showering. After the shower the guy thanked Jesus for making him feel so clean. Imagine the words of praise for Jesus when he poops. "Thank you Jesus for cleaning my bowels so thoroughly, you even got that one piece of peanut that was stuck in my lower tract. Praise the lord."

-Unbeknownst to us, there was a daylong outdoor adventure race on Saturday while we went on our five hour hike. Encouraging/haranguing the racers made the hike more enjoyable (for us at least).

-The highlight of the trip was detonating a 3 foot tall missile -calling it a firework would be like calling a 64 ounce Super Big Gulp a soda- on the lake area at 1am. I didn't expect so many explosions. It looked like a night flair from a war movie and was all the more successful thanks to not getting busted. In the words of Borat, "Success!"
