Last night some of my girlfriends and I took a hike and slept out under the stars. It allowed me to try out my little backpack and sleeping bag, plus it was some fabulous girl time with people I won't see for a long time. We fell asleep under the stars ... and awoke around 4:30 am under an ARMY OF HORNETS! Not even kidding. I wrapped myself up even tighter into my sleeping bag and tried to fall back asleep, but in my extremely tense state, that just wasn't happening. The six of us kept looking around at each other and up at the flying beasts. Finally, I cracked. I jumped up into the mass of hornets, slid my feet into my boots (on top of my glasses and flashlight), scooped up my mat and sleeping bag, and ran off to another field. The others followed shortly.
That'd better not happen on the Camino.
