It’s the middle of the month..

It is the middle of the month..

I saw this strip in Yahoo comics (Arlo and Janis for 15th of July) and remembered its been more than a week since my last post..so what’s happening.

Well, we had Mohsin and team (numbering 10) who joined us on the 4th of July, of these folks 9 of them joined in rafting also.

Then we had Arun and team (numbering 4) who joined us on the 4th of July, again they too joined us for rafting

We had Kaustab and team (numbering 5), they were not staying with us but joined for rafting.

We had Sunil and team numbering 11 gentlemen who came to Bethel. This team was very different from the usual crowd that comes to Bethel, each of these gentlemen were 40+ years of age and had become friends over the years. What was common among them all ? How did they meet ? Well, all of them were morning walkers in the same park in Bangalore and became friends over the many miles that they walked there!!! — yup, some groups are special.. and we are lucky to host them.

Then we had Pravin and his wife Shalini who joined us on the 10th of July.
and Nagesh and his wife Hitha who joined us on the 11th of July.

Apart from the folks who stayed with us we also had Misha and Sarita who joined for rafting on the 10 of July

We also had Shiva and team (numbering 10) from Hyderabad whose stay we arranged in Ramcaud home stay near Iruppu falls joining us for rafting on the 12th of July

With this our rafting count has become 46 as of date!!

High waters and Nepali instructions!!

It is all happening now!!

We have had a few very good rains and the Barapole river is in the full spate…Rafters of the world — be there!!

Yesterday, we had Suresh babu and team at the Barapole, of the 12, 9 decided to go for it. We had three rafts hitting the water, guided by Dhawa, Mahendra and Rana. The fourth guide Subash joined our team of Rakesh, Manju and Mukesh in our raft.

Our raft guided by Dhawa was the lead and rescue raft — While we were at it, we decided to try something unique .. In our raft were three Nepali speakers.. Dhawa, Subash and Mukesh and the others Manju and Rakesh do manage a smattering of Nepali so it was decided that today, All rafting instructions will happen only in pure Nepali language. And we did it perfectly too

For the first time in his life, Dhawa guided a full raft giving white water rafting instructions in pure Nepali

What can I say, we love to do stuff..:-)

Well, our rafting head count is now 12.
