You’re also not prepared for elemental pleasures: hot tea with rusks (cross between cookies and granola bars) before leaving your tent for breakfast, the lull of the evening campfire, the embrace of more stars dangling overhead than you’ve ever seen in your life, the landscape that extends beyond the horizon like an ocean.
