well..... another spring break... another trip.... into the wilderness....
or may be 2 days in the city... and 1.5 days in the wilderness.... whatever.... it was fun
the trip started with my journey to dallas on "greyhound"... i was kinda scared abt the ride.. but it was peaceful.... i reached dallas..... bobba and aarti reached in the evening... psp missed his flight and eventually missed the trip... due to the peak season!!... it was sad...
i cooked chicken ... after reaching dallas.... then we chatted for a while..... before sleeping.....
the activty began on friday... we rented bicycles and cycled for abt 12 miles around white rock lake ... it was windy n cold.. but fun.....
then the grp from austin arrived and we started on our ride to arkansas.....
we reached late and well... were very surprised with the apartments we rented.. they were awesome and we slept well :P
Saturday...
we began our trekkin at 12... after huge amounts spent on groceries:P
trekking...with frisbee and songs (Botany paata...for this trip) was real fun....
then..after the first trail.. we went in search of water falls .... a second trail... the water falls was not very great.... yet the sound of water falls was worth the trip........
then ...evening we spent time cooking and eating lots and lots of food.. (for non-vegs only chicken :P)
then..
Sunday...
we went to Lake Ouchita for boating... realized there were not many boats to do that and so went ahead with beach volley ball.... volley is as usual lots of fun...
this time it was even better because we had 2/3 handicapped people (after effects of trekking).... on my side... (deepak n yours truly)...... but we ended up playing well n winning.... it was cool....
then we started the drive back... reached Dallas... (in the mean time i realized work was waiting for me.....).. we had dinner in Dallas... nice food.... then Austin junta came back.. i stayed back...to spend some more time with my friends..... we chatted for sometime... (i worked during the discussions for a while)...... then it was day break and time to part...... we dropped people at airport... returned the van..... and came back n relaized i have more work to do... so started that and sent the mail of..... then i ahd 20 minutes to catch my bus to austin.... thanks to deepak's aggressive driving i made it......
and all the time on my drive i was expecting my adviosr's call... luckily it did not come... i went directly to office... had some more work to do...... finished it.... and sent the mails....... finally it looks like.. i can take a break.... but not a long one... i have a meeting soon... so will have to finish some stuff.... anyway...
overall it was good fun and a great trip.........
there were moments , as usual.... when i was annoyed with some one or the other... but knowing my temperament... it was not surprising to me..... anyway........
