Went swimming in river

Posted by Dawn at Monday, July 25, 2005
This morning, we went to Walmart to develop the photos. We waited long for the shop to open but it was not open. We presumed because it was sunday..so they may open much later. So, we went over to Walgreens to develop. Not my preferred choice as they developing not so nice there...but since we needed to rush to put into the frame and give Jerry later..we had no choice.

So anyway, after developing which took only few minutes, we went back to put into the frames.The quality was not so good but guess, we did not have time to do improve things or wait for the shop in Walmart to open.

We went together with Kok Fong, Gek Teng and Jaimie in the car to Tellico Plains. It is about 45 mins drive. We drove to Long Johns cum A&W place to take away and eat at the 'beach' area. It is a restaurant which serves Long John Silver and A&W. I ordered a fish burger which is very nice and fried shrimps.

We reached Tellico Plains at about 120pm and had our lunch together under the tree. The place was crowded as it is a weekend. After eating, we saw Jerry and his family. They went to the nearby stall to buy their hotdogs while me and CT went down to the river to swim. Kok Fong and the rest did not bring their costume even though we told them to as they did not feel like getting wet and then feeling dirty after swimming in it...as there are no toilet facilities here. So, they just watched us and helped us take pics.

Me and CT had loads of fun swimming in it as we spotted fishes as you can see from the picture (two pair of eyes are better than one)...and stayed still for the fishes to swim to us and nibble on our feet or costume. Ha..very fun.

Lots of small guppies as well..but mostly, stripped fish about 20cm long..

There are some parts which are deep but can still walk..but most parts really shallow.




We swam about 3-4 hours and then went to a place with stronger current...to just enjoy the rush of the current..as shown in the picture. They have lots of guppies swimming against the current..cute.

People also brought their dogs..












We had a great time swimming. While swimming, KF and the rest took the car to explore around the area since they were rather bored. After that, we gave the photo frame to Jerry and the family. They loved it.

It will be our last time seeing each other as Jerry would be on leave for 3 weeks to spend time with his family. So, when CT goes back to work, he would be attached to someone else. So, we said our goodbyes and parted.

Reached hotel at about 5pm and met up for dinner at 630pm. Went to "PF Chang"- A Chinese bistro place which I went before with Kok Fong and gang, but CT has not tried yet.

We ordered Peking Duck, steam sea bass fish, beef with brocolli, honey chicken and Jaimie ordered ahi tuna (which is raw tuna with some sort of spice)- did not like this dish.

The fish came out without head and tail..only fillet..haha..very different. It was a nice meal. I will def miss Knoxville food as the food here is nicer than back in Mobile. But anyway, I cook more often back home in Mobile..
