Trekking

The plan was to drive out to some old ruins and hike around in the mountains with a bunch of guys. Being the monsoon season that it is, most chickened out, but five of us decided to go for it anyways. I had my doubts. “Who wants to go hiking in the rain,” I thought to myself. As it turns out, I did. We all did. It was a ton of fun. See the “wet” pictures from my flickr album below. I’m glad my camera is waterproof and shock resistent because it got soaked, dropped in streams of water, etc. We saw some ruins carved out of the rocks in the side of a mountain. After taking it in, we decided to just go off on our own and hike through the mountains. We saw more waterfalls in one day than I have seen in the last 10 years combined. It was awesome. I’m glad Phil and I got to go, together with our friends Josh, Matt, and Roshan. The hot tea, known as “chai” here, tasted great when we reached the bottom, after hiking for about 3 and a half hours. The next day I was reminded, by my body, that I’m not as young as I used to be, but it was still worth it.
