I just got home from a camping trip with BESSY. Simply amazing. And the night added another point to my top ten most beautiful moments: Friday night, we didn't really get to camp until about 7 or 8, and it was kind of dark, so we started putting up tents right away. When we finished tents we made food and ate, and so we didn't start our shabbat evening prayer until 9:45 or so. But when we did, it was around a campfire that we built (we borrowed a saw from a boy scout troop and more stories on that later) and it was really really beautiful. We made sure to sing extra loud and energetically to ward off the evil Christians.
When we went to the Christians to ask to borrow the saw, we were just waiting for them to ask what we needed it for so we could say "We're building a fire for our children sacrafice. Do you have any volunteers?" But they didn't ask. And I kept on calling Joey "mario" 'cause she was wearing one of those headband flashlights and it made her look like she was from a video game. When we were standing in their campsite, Mario kept making fun of the way some of the kids looked (well they really did look funny) and I whispered "hey Joey, why don't you make more fun of them while wer're at their campsite? They're probably just making fun of 'the dumb jews' anyway." And Jeoy turned to me, eyes wide in panic, and said "don't say that here, they don't like Jews!" I burst out laughing. We had a few more episodes with them and Joey getting offended, but more on that tomorrow. I didn't sleep well at all so I'm about to go to sleeeeep!
