akron - iii

well it was a couple of weeks back so i won't go into the details...

i landed up on friday since i drove in my new car. we had dinner out. (now in akron why do places close down so early? it was 10 and out for the eating joints). Akshia came in saturday morning. The airport was pretty far off...some 40miles from the house. anyways we picked him up...happy to see bhai and the three of us together after a long time...
came home washed up and then started for put-in bay. it is some 110miles from home. oh and we found out that we traced back our route to airport while going there...ouch!
There was a long queue of parking at put-in bay yatch area...had to park a quarter of a mile away from the boarding area! and paid $5 for it!
It was amazing. it was a ferry ride of about 20minutes from the mainland to the put-in bay island. there were yatches and speed boats in the distant water (duh!). Our arrival was greeted by 'welcome! have a grrrreat day! and put-in baaaay'. he he! now that was funny :)
its a historic place and a tourist spot. there were memorials/museum/side shows. and then there were boats, parasailing, jet skiis and a happening downtown. Downtown had the world's longest bar. now that attracted my companions...! we had to go in once. had a beer or something...it was long...ya!
sunday was a bit boring if you might casll it...we went to Sri venkateshwara temple and the hindu jain temple. the drive was the fun part. all of us drove Tushar's car in turns.

i left akrno around 7:30. had to come to the airport to pick a frnd at 11pm. and then again i din't want to start any later or early morning monday :)
reached home safe and sound. put 750 miles on my car!!
