an evening under the stars

I just got perhaps the coolest birthday party invite - cool because the party will consist of several of my favorite things: countryside, cool, fresh air, and stargazing. To celebrate his birthday, a friend has proposed the following opportunity to gather with friends. Leaving behind city lights (and hopefully clouds and pollution) we'll take an evening ride to a spot where we hope to observe a meteor shower expected to occur this evening. It has been too many winters since I've seen a meteor shower so I hope this evening's event does not disappoint. However, I suppose even if we do not get to see the stars fall from the heavens, the evening will still be worth it to take a break from the weekly routine and spend a evening with friends roaming the countryside.
