backflips, homecoming and diana's pool

On sunday the fraternities after being absent for one week to celebrated their homecoming with a huge parade of trucks which functioned as stages for their presentations and performances. Furthermore, the south campus was transformed into a amusement park providing the chance to live out my infantile play instinct. It was awesome and I did all attractions - took the slide on a potato bag, flight around on the carrousel which made me  feel like flying away on my chair when I closed my eyes, fought Dan with a pillow on a bar, and made backflips and supermans on the bungee trampolin. Fooling around like a child was sweeeeet, but also sweaty.

Afterwards I went with some friends to Diana's pool to swim in the Natchaug River. The walk through the forest along the river jumping from stone to stone which lay on and next to the path reminded me of the great jungle tour to that waterfall on La Gomera many years. The first exploration of American nature was awesome. The waterfalls at Diana's pool are not very tall but beautiful anyway. We swam in the cold and clear river water and after having explored the deepness of the water, I took some headers jumping from some bigger stones. The nature around me seems to be beautiful. I am an idiot that I did not start earlier to explore it. I start to make good for this neglect this sunday...
