The stars themselves were enough to justify giving up our comfortable bed. We were looking at the Northern sky. Toward South there was too much light from the many towns and the airport. So we found a small ridge against which we set our bivouac. I had a thermos of coffee, and a little flask. But then the falling and slowly understanding of their surprising ways gave us much joy.
Ah, I am sorry, I forgot to introduce her, she is my wife. Meet my friend KK.  |
