This weekend graced us with the marvelous chance to get a lung full of fresh air and campfire smoke, and just enjoy being alive. To me, there's nothing more American than roasting s'mores with friends, an experience that I genuinely missed whilst on my mission.  Now, we answered intense questions from a philosophical book and stared at the flickering flames whilst our marshmallows bubbled brown.   We slept under a canopy of trees cocooned in our sleeping bags.
