Sore and Relieved

My lower body is sore.

OH yeah, you know what I was doing all day and night yesterday, bomchickaWAW-WAW.

That's right. I went HIKING. haha!

So if you ever wanted to see a group of 20 Asians trek through the California wilderness, then go bungee jumping, you should have probably come to Arcadia, CA yesterday. I was a part of that ragtag group of assorted Asians (plus 3 white folks who are essentially Asian anyway). Well, I didn't jump, but I definitely hiked. I don't even have to tell you that though cuz my legs will, for sure. Anyway, it was a long 5 mi in and an even longer 5 mi out of the canyon.

The dry, barren, brush-laden landscape lent itself to dehydration and heatstroke but it was a good thing I had water. The point being, really, it's nothing like the tropical landscape covered hikes at home. I was slightly disappointed with how the scenery looked with the lack of trees while hiking into the canyon, but I must say, while hiking out with the sun setting, everything looked entirely different. The true colors of the canyon came out. All of the colors seemed far more pronounced, yet pleasantly muted, in true desert landscape fashion. The hike was fairly easy, just long and hot. So yeah, it was great.

Watching the bungee jumping was probably the best part of the day. I mean, really, who doesn't enjoy watching their friends simulate suicide with form, style, and multiple expletives which I'd rather not write here? I definitely do. I've got pictures, but I'll post them later.

Don't ask me why I didn't jump. The answer is far too simple and frankly disappointing. Yes, I think you know why.

The relief part came when I got home and checked my messages on the archaic social networking website otherwise known as Myspace. (Yes, archaic even though it's not even been around for more than 10 yrs.) Let's just say, my curiosity has been allayed.

Anway, it was a good Saturday, however, the aftermath is making my Sunday barely walkable.
