Meteor Shower

Ever gone star gazing? If you haven't, you really should.

I did something slightly crazy last night, but totally fun. Four of us left the house at two in the morning and went on a 45 minute drive up this one nearby hill to watch the meteor shower.

It was one of the guy's suggestions and a few of us actually ended up going...even though we had work the next day. I've always been one to admire the sky, clouds, sunsets and stars. I don't know many others who appreciate it as much as I do, so I was pleasantly shocked when these people decided to go. We drove up the hill, climbed a bit so we were off the road, and then we spread out sleeping bags and lay down on them facing the sky. I saw the milky way. The stars were so bright and one of the guys who knows constellations quite well pointed out some. And then it started. We saw bright lights zooming through the sky. My favourite ones are the ones with tails. Unfortunately we didn't see any change colors but it was awesome to see the big ones float across the sky. I was in awe.
