Camping in my Car

I bought my car because I wanted to go camping in it. If I put down the back seat, I can lie down and sleep in a sleeping bag. Last summer, I went into the mountains with my wife, and it was wonderful. The stars were beautiful, and it was so cool that we had to wear a jacket. We came back this year. It was cloudy in the afternoon, and it rained in the evening, but it cleared up by the morning. When I got up at 5:30, it was a wonderful 15 degrees. I went for a walk with my binoculars, my camera, and a field guide. I could hear Japanese warblers (“uguisu”) everywhere. They are hard to see in the trees, but I finally saw one with my binoculars, and I got some great pictures of it, too. I felt very proud of myself.  (147 words)
