Second day of canoeing

Thanks to Prabasaj-da, I was able to go canoeing again in his Origami canoe today. We tried the Chattahoochee river this time. This experience was even better than the first time since we had our share of adventures.

First, we got stuck in the rocks around a few small rapids once. Took a bit of maneuvering and kicking the rocks to get unstuck.

Second, we saw this creature swiftly moving across the water. Looked like a turtle from a distance but it was too fast to be a turtle. There was a bird that swooped towards it but it sharply darted under water. And then it surfaced a few seconds later about 30 yards away near the other bank. For the life of us, we could not figure out what it was. This is about the time we were glad we were not in Florida 🙂

After we were done and pulled out of the water in Azalea park, a handful of people came by to see us dismantle and fold up the canoe. Seemed like a few of them were aware of these foldable canoes!

The lush green trees on either side of the river was a sight to watch!

Finally, some unwinding time

The week has been a bit hectic. Did manage to put in a walk to the bar with Sharmila and the dog every night though. But that was about it. Finally, today got some motorcycle time and then unwinding with an Asterix!

This is the 14th book – Asterix in Spain !

They are back!!!

Remember I had talked about that group of Indian folks that came and started singing devotional songs in The Green in Downtown Alpharetta one day? They showed up today again!!

First all the kids stopped playing and stood around curiously watching what was going on. Then the adults came in and started dancing!!!
