Hiking + birthday

[luzula]

So I went hiking on Saturday afternoon by myself and spent two nights in a tent, and then came back this afternoon. I had 12 km to hike today (= 7.5 miles), and I wanted to catch a bus at 1 pm. So I started at 8.30 am, thinking I would have plenty of time. Wrong. The terrain was rough and hilly and the trail meandered quite a bit. I did catch the bus, but only because it was five minutes late! Now I am very tired.

I had quite forgotten that it was my birthday yesterday, and only realized it when my parents called me in the morning to congratulate me! It was nice hiking along and having people call/text me during the day.

Also, I was cold this last night--I wish I'd had my winter sleeping bag. My tent was all frosty in the morning, brrrr.

Now to catch up on the internet...
