close to nature: Franconia

So last weekend, as I planned I went to franconia notch park in new hampshire. I was with my senior Sashi, his wife gayatri and their son Sanandan. We started at around 8:30am, reached there at 10. it was around 110miles. we took 20 bucks combo tickets. first we visited franconia flume gorge It is the traile which goes beside water. Very nice place. The sound of water flowing at hight speed, refreshed my mind. Then we reached a nice water fall. We went up by stairs, so we were at top of the fall. From there we went more ahead, it was very beautiful place. I wished my fiance were there with me. I would look more beautiful in falls I think. But even at this time it was very noce. There were nice small wood bridges over the stream. Even the bus also went over the bridge, it was 50 feets bridge, one of the smallest. Those guys have maintained the place very properly.
From there we went to tramway; it's a cable car, using which we went to mount cannon. From there a trail led us to an observatory point. I have not seen any such nice place, where you see any where on 360 degrees, you will see only mountains. And try how far you can see, you will see only mountains. The I93 highway looks very tiny going between the mountains. On all the directions it was white mountain series.
We went down then went to a lake for kanoeing, but it was over at 4 and we reached at 4:15 :(.
The from the highway Sashi saw one more place called the basin. There was a small waterfall there. Before that we went inside water, but the water was almost freezing. it should be not more than at 4degree celcius. It was really amazing. we spent some time there and moved back to home.
The day went full of excitement. I enjoyed alot. I thanks Sashi at the end for suggesting such a nice place. Ireally liked the place.
Next Plan:
Just after finishing the trip, I have decided that I am gonna go for a trek at white mountains. I asked at visiter center also for a ful day trek. He suggested me one near basin only. I checked on net about places to trek. The most popular is white mountain which I have all ready covered last year. SO the second one is the franconia ridge I have decided to go there for next weekend. Now Sashi is also in full mood of traveling this whole summer. He told me that he wants to go for a acardia for around 3 days. He asked me if I am interested, and I am everready for going to such nice places. I have already been on acardia last year, but it's so big and so nice place I am dying to go there again. Last time even the weather was not good, we enjoyed alot there. So I said yes. He has booked the hotel also there, for 9th aug weekend. I told my plan of trekking also to him. He also got enthu. So I told we will go for a small trek later in aug or sept, together. I will ask abhi also to join me. The franconia ridge trek I am planning to do alone. I have never climbed a mountain alone. I think it would be different kind of fun and peace, when going a natural place alone.

I am looking forward to both the next plans. Hope these will go adventurous ;)

Heading west again

So here I go. Living happily in bangalore. talking daily to my sweetheart on phone (many thanks to ambani for such a nice offer of unlimited calls on riliance 2 reliance).
One day I am going to my cubicle and I get to know that I have 2 go 2 U.S. in few days. Damn I got a little shock. I didn't expect it. OK, so here I go to Andover, via Boston via Frankfurt.
It has been around 8 days here and I am allready bored. This time specially because I didn;t have much enthu to come here, second I have came alone. But on flight I gore less bored that last time. May be I am now little used to of those push back seats, where I was not able to sleep at all earlier. Now I can take some little naps atleast I think.
So the journey till here was pretty ok. Only when before landing my ears were on blast. this time even my right eye also geve me an extreme pain, I don't know why. I was like, I don't know what to do. I pressed my eye. My eyebrow part was like blowing away. I pressed that. For ears I used chewing gum, which worked pretty well. I still remember last time I was on allmost tears when the plane was landing on Boston. This time, on appt my seniour is also there with me, he is with his family. So food is not a problem atleast for few days :)
The office is boring as I expected, this time more than last time. but 2 days agao my seniour found out that there's a fuseball table there. SO for 2 days we are playing fuse ball at afternoon which is pretty enjoyable. So for last 8 days only thing I enjoyed here is the fuseball. Actually the whether is also good, it;s raining and thunder storms here. I like this season. We got a veri nice car hundai azera, which is very smooth in driving. I like driving in U.S. as it's quite easy to drive, and you can safely drive at over 100kmph.
Other than that I am planning to gofor joggin but not getting time or due to my laziness not able to get wake in the morning. I hope I would be able to start in couple of days. Otherwise I'll do that at eve time.
Today I decided this weekend I will go somewhere. I can't waste my weekend in office or appt. 2morrow I am going for a trip to some water falls trails thing. don't remember the name, actually my senior is going so I told I will join him. Any way if he wouldn;t be going I was gonna go with my own. I hope it would be a nice spot.
