One of my tennis buddies, Steve, told me of a hike he took with a group on Sunday and showed me photos and I knew I wanted to go......Steve gave me directions but warned me it was way out in the boonies......
So this morning I packed up and off I went .....it was about a 35 minutes drive and once off the main highway on to gravel roads.....a pretty view on the way
Then into a remote village...
After asking for directions a couple of times I found a place to park and headed into the hills.
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT???
See his bell??
I tracked my route on my phone and with some luck came to my destination a small Pressa...quite lovely!!!
Steve had told me that behind this Pressa was a hike into the canyons and rock pools but there were two choices of ways to go and this is the first one I took...it was fun walking on the dam walls...
With good views looking back..
After hiking just over a mile I realized this was not right so I turned around and came back and went the other way...
after going over this bridge I headed into the slot canyon and after a few minutes came to these pools...
You cannot tell but there a is a small waterfall coming through these rocks..
I really enjoy taking reflections...
So picture this..
Here I am sat on the rock below with that view....the sound of the waterfall, a sandwich, a lovely hot day and I recite my story for the event tonight....
After lunch went a little further into the canyon...
On the way back to Little Bluey...
I hiked 6 miles and it was such a great tonic to be out in the country with my thoughts.....
Tonight I went to the big theater where this event was taking place...
The theater was almost full and I was the 9th story on the calendar the first after the break.....I really know the story and think I did another good job of performing obviously my accent adds to the story....I received a good round of applause and lots of congratulations afterwards..it was a challenge but fun to perform.....
Yashi Kochi!!!
