OK, after a few small technical difficulties I just posted Part 2 of my Newfoundland Audio Slide Show. This one takes us to the little town of Cape Broyle where I did a day trip sea kayaking with Stan Cook Adventures, an outfitter in the area, and a fine one at that. I chose some better music this time, or at least, it’s relevant, since it is actual Newfoundlander music. But again, I kept it short and simple, and I hope you enjoy it.
Paddling Iran
Of all the places you thought you might paddle
some day, I’ll bet Iran never made the list. Well, maybe it should have. The adventuresome Becky Bristow heads to this axis of
evil to try out the bouldery rapids of the Sezar River. The story here is filled with interesting little cultural
anecdotes the likes of which you’re unlikely to find in a story about, say, paddling in Wyoming. To wit: almost as soon
as Ms. Bristow gets out of her boat, the locals swathe her head in a scarf, lest all that uncovered hair stir the
longings and unravel the turbans of the local tribesmen. The group described here hits some sweet Class IVs, and
overall make the paddling in Iran seem pretty darn inviting.
