Sunday May 2 Day 61

Sunday May 2 Day 61


The most amazing thing happened overnight. My sprain is just fine. Evidently I just strained my right foot. It hurt so badly last night that I began making plans to leave India early. Looks like I will still be be to walk comfortably but I will take care and not overwork the feet. I spent last evening with the foot elevated while I played solitaire.


Today has been an exploring day. There is a small campground called Fairy Glenn. I had heard of it while in school but had never been there because I was not a “camping” kind of guy. My idea of camping is a nice motel room with ice at the end of the hall. After receiving direction I started out. I had to go back and ask another person for direction which were evidently incomplete. After climbing up a long, rather steep trail looking for a path off to the left, I went back down the hill and remembered that the left hand path continued and I should be looking for a path off to the right. I spotted the path from above and followed it to where it joined the main path. The Fairy Glenn was a very charming campground with fire circles and fireplaces. It is rather small but will make a good section on the video.


This evening at sunset we had a great big thunderstorm. This included bolts of lightning, the sky sounding like it was being torn apart, water gushing through the down spouts from the roof, hail covering the the ground, and the sky golden. A generally amazing display of the power of nature. Finished off by eating dinner by flashlight. The electricity came back on a couple of hours later.

About Me

My photo
I have twin sons with 2 children each. I will miss them when in India. I have been a job gypsy all my life looking for new challenges constantly. I got bored quickly except when teaching. 3 years as a Middle School Music Teacher and 9 years as an Assistant Professor of Music. I played in a Country Western Band when I went back to college at 39 to get a degree in Accounting. I was a CPA that worked in various companies, the longest for 5 years and the shortest for 2 days. I spent most of my accounting life working as a Project Accountant where I would come in to solve a particular problem. I was rarely required to do a lot of the boring stuff for very long. With the passing of my wife and NO job to go to, I can now pursue my dreams in India.
