What a life? My second trip is going significantly better than my last trip. Last night I did a city tour of DC and only managed to get lost once! This is a huge accomplishment for me. I'm really excited because the next four days I'll be in National Park in Virginia and Tennessee that I have never been to. It will be nice to get out of the city and finally do some real hiking and camping. I hope that I don't have any pansy asses on my trip because I'm going to hike there little tales off. My last group was still complaining by the time we got to NY about the hikes I had them do in Zion and the Grand Canyon. This group appears to be a little more athletic than my last group. At any rate, I'm really excited. We'll be in Shenandoah NTL Park, Virginia tomorrow and the Great Smoky Mountains NTL Park by Tuesday. They both look absolutely beautiful. Pictures to follow.
After the GSM Park I'm going to Nashville! Thank God I have cowboy boots! So far, I've worn my boots everyday of this trip, even though it was 100 degrees in DC today. Now, that's dedication.
Also, I destroyed my U-Haul trailer (long story), the good news is that when I got to Jersey they gave me a brand new Hallmark trailer, which is 100 times better than the old, stupid, smelly U-Hauls. I WIN!
It sounds like last group was starting to irritate you. Thank God you got rid of them and went with a new group. It sounds like this did want a fat, stupid tour guide.
ReplyDeleteJust be upfront with the new group and tell them that this is whats going down and its really cool in America to hike and camp. Then they will be really into it. Also - ask them what they think about Halloween. That always lead to interesting discussions for me in Spain.
I can't leave just one.

ReplyDeleteSHIT - comment #3 for this posting - I am on a role. I also think you should ask them what they think about George Bush - this also leads tourists to interesting conversations! -
