Love this, thank you - engaging narrative and great perspective.
I brought my kids early, took them home, the tried to sparkle pony it back in on Friday. But the gates were already closed and I spent a glorious evening camping south of the city. Strangely I considered whether I should see if friends wanted me to pick them up on the highway, while I still wanted to get IN (??). Talking to them later they said it was the best burn in at least a decade - of course it was.
Lovely! I have to admit that I walked away, 23 km, I wasn't super comfortable in my camp, felt creepy vibes from the males, and now have mixed feelings, really don't know how to start writing about the experience this year but this piece has me motivated. I have a lot of respect for the old Burners and appreciate this reading. I would definitely go back. This was my second year, Costa Rica is my home, and I love life right after Burning Man, it's really inspiring and moving! Also loved and have right above my computer Daniel Pinchbeck's Breaking Open the Head, which I read last year before my first Burn, after the first Burn and finished before this second one. I really hope BM continues to be a place that welcomes all and that has the legacy and the wisdom of the older generations. Thanks and sorry I left. Surfer Girl 101

So bummed I missed it.
