July 4th

Sunday, 4th of July 2010
-------------------------------

got out of bed around 830am. need to rush to sidneys place for the july 4th hike in about 2 hrs.

9:30 got call from rajan regarding going out for the fire works, so told him that I was going on a hike and maybe in downtown in the evening, they are having a latin day celebrations at penns landing today. :)

8:10pm Just got back from the hike. 5 hrs of hiking in the heat, one person iin the group got heat stroke. It was an exhausting 5 hrs especially for me as I got to sleep for just 3 hrs before I woke up called up home.

Talked with Aunt who is having B-cancer. She is slowly starting to eat more soup and sounded exhausted. She is staying with the other aunt.

Adhira got a admission into one of the Engineering colleges. So she is focusing on becoming an engineer than becoming a doctor.
Wish she would have tried to become a doc instead. :(

Thru out the hike I was kind of sleepy and brain dead. So was not really social with the new members of the hike.
Feel bad, but the conditions were like that.

Raj was trying get me to stay in downtown so that he could get a ride back with me after the fire works. I was in no mood to stay till 11pm as the fire works starts @ 10:30pm after sunset which is around 9:30-10pm

on the way back stopped for a few mins at a stage in downtown where they were playing latin music and danced one salsa with a gal who was wearing sandles. poor gal.

but that kind of made me feel energetic.

then most of us took the train back to chestnut hill. I got into my car, feeling the cramps starting in my leg.
Last time I felt cramped was at Yosomethi hike with Eva and was sore for the rest of the week. That did not allow me to be confident to go down the Grand Canyon. I am suddenly reminded how eva was again upset only thinking about her own needs and not even caring to understand how much of physical pain I was in and had driven from Yosomethie to Las Vegas non stop, while she slept.
That night at Las vegas I said no matter what I am going to enjoy this night. And if you are coming with me come but don't expect me to drive you back if you are feeling bored. I motivated myself to enjoy your hobbies and your fancies. And this is something I like, the least she could do was be nice. But all she did was sulk and it and had a stand-offish face and did not want to enjoy the nighly beauty of Las Vegas. All she thought was this so not European about Ceasers palace. Hey this the least they could do and I think they did it in grand style.
Then I liked the next day at Hoover dam. as she seem to mellow down in the heat and I was feeling better about her attitude.
