The stars are beautiful out here. Without all the light pollution back in the city, you can see thousands of little lights in the sky at night. Shaley pointed out a few of the other planets to me while we were eating our meal in our camp. Forgot she took a course in astronomy in her junior year. I told her about how the ancient peoples used the stars for many things, and how amazing it is that they were able to learn as much as they did about the stars with nowhere near the equipment we have today. She called me a nerd, and giggled.
Tried the 'barbeque chicken burrito' tonight. I was surprised at how moist, and tender the chicken was, despite being rehydrated with water from a water bottle. On top of that, it was perfectly marinated. Every bite had just the right amount of kick. Though now I'm beginning to wish I hadn't eaten something so spicy for dinner. It's going to be a rough night for my poor intestines.
We're only a day out from the ruins now. We can just barely make out a large structure poking out in the horizon. Even in the moonlight, we can still manage to make it out. It's quite exciting actually. To think, within a day, we'll be exploring the ruins of a long, lost kingdom! I wonder what we'll learn about the people who lived there. When did the kingdom form? Who ruled it? How have we never heard of it before? Though I'm not very optimistic about finding any actual written knowledge in the ruins. Books are notoriously brittle, and need much care to survive for significant periods of time. On top of that, it doesn't seem like the ruins we'll be exploring will be all that robust. I can only dream of finding the treasure trove of knowledge I seek.
Maybe someone will turn this into some sort of bland, generic exploration movie when we get back." #rp
