Suresh has never been in a canoe but we really wanted to get in one. He hadn’t told me that he’s never been in a canoe until we got in and he started rowing. I asked Suresh if he knew that canoes are very easy to tip over, he said, “are they? I didn’t know that.” The first thing I did was test the water to see if it was as cold as the air – it wasn’t, it was warm. So I took off my shoes and held on tight and was ready to fall right over and fall into the lake… and cling onto my life to swim ashore. But Suresh, being the person that he is, and for one of the qualities that I so love him for, moved that canoe like an expert… so much that I even let my little niece in the canoe with him after! – Photography by DigiMediaPhoto.com
