Survival of the Fittest
So, where to begin. This past weekend I went camping with some students from work and let me tell you, it was survival of the fittest haha. I stood by while they all went crazy trying to set up a fire and get some food going. I helped fish, though I caught nothing. By the time it was ready for dinner we had one fish; but some smart person brought along basically the whole back half of a goat! So we cooked it on the fire and I ate goat liver for the first time! We then had a supra, of course, and drank lots of wine and cognac. I then proceeded to tell them how tough I was and that I could wade into the cold river. It turned out to be a bit too cold for me but that didn't matter because someone picked me up and threw me in the river! Luckily I brought a change of clothes so was able to keep dry. The next day we had to drive down the mountain on a gravel road which did not help the headache that I had. When I got home my host family told me that I should have drank more when I woke up; apparently three shots of cognac will cure any headache from the night before. While this may be true, my stomach would have hated me! So, instead they made me eat soup made of cow stomach and cow hooves; probably wont be eating that again! Now that my stomach has calmed down, it's back to school mode!
