A nice change of pace yesterday. Neighbors Jeff and Davina invited us to join them on a scouting expedition to Nangoloan Falls in San Felipe. By scouting, I mean that a large group of us is planning an adventure there on Saturday, and we wanted to check out what might be in store for us since none of us had ever been there before. It took just about an hour to get there from our house, and I enjoyed seeing some new countryside. Upon arrival, we parked and then rode on a carabao-pulled cart the one kilometer or so to the falls. I’d never ridden behind a carabao before, so even at seventy years of age, I had a first-in-a-lifetime experience. That’s a rare thing indeed!












I opted to walk back to the parking area to get some steps in and check out the scenery.








So hopefully, things will go as planned tomorrow. There is one potential wrinkle on the horizon.


In the evening, I took Swan out for dinner at Jewel Cafe.



We spent some after-dinner time at It Doesn’t Matter, then did a nightcap at Nipsey’s. And that’s how I rolled through an out-of-the-ordinary day. Hopefully, tomorrow’s adventure turns out to be a good one.
Still marching through the 2014 LTG archives. This post reminded me again of what I loved and miss about living in Seoul. The wife and I wanted to hike, and literally right outside our building was a mountain climb through a parklike setting amidst the urban sprawl of the city. What a life I had and lost.
It’s a dog’s life in today’s YouTube video. You won’t be barking up the wrong tree if you heed these words of wisdom.
But wait, there’s more:



I’ll try to do better tomorrow. I sure as hell hope this rain stops. How bad is it? Well, I’m not going into town tonight, bad. Of course, getting invited to Jeff and Davina’s made that decision easier.
Sorry to read about the rain. I hope it’s over soon. We’ve got rain heading our way next week. It’ll happen while I’m walking. Yay.
Hi John!
Really impressed by some of your recent posts. Can we please see more pictures of you in a dress? And one with knee-high boots with six-inch heels (mega please???)? Thank you kindly!

Re: Hiking in Seoul
Agree with you on having a mountain just outside the door. When I was in Seoul, my “base” was the JW Marriott, just south of the Han River. Always to go hiking in the park/mountain right across the street.
Yes, I remember marching by the JW on occasion. Looked to be a nice place, and definitely surrounded by some great countryside in the city.
Thanks for reading, Tiffany. Sorry to be a disappointment, but those pictures ain’t happening. Unless Dr. Greg makes them for you.
Kevin, I’m blessed that getting wet doesn’t wreck my feet. Tape ’em good!

Try 26K with wet feet, and we’ll talk.
Kevin, my DRY feet would be wrecked if I tried walking 26K.
