I'm back. It was awesome. I now dream of buying a house in the countryside and become a farmer. I've missed you all.

If it was awesome being away from us, it does not seem that you really missed us at all.

Sounds like where I want to be as well. That's good that you had fun. Did you remain completely electronic-free? No cell phone, no internet, no laptop? Lanterns and electric stoves are ok

Non-sequitur?
I'll be camping again in later August but this time it was different, it was a natural preserved space with little to help campers. I killed a few bugs and found a small scorpion. I also found a mouse under my tent which I had to shoo away because my girlfriend freaked out - It looked like an hamster.
Oh, and I got a facial sunburn, but nothing too serious.

Yes, smartphone only to call my mom once or twice a day. I charged it about every 2.5 days.

That's still really good. I enjoy my laptop, but when I get away from anything, I was always think, "Yeah, I could easily live without that stuff." Then, I come back to the boring same ol' same ol', and it's back to the movies and the internet.

What?? That's no vacation! Get back out into those woods and don't come back until you are one with nature.
