Day 26: Resting in Rock Island
2009.07.25
We felt such a relief waking up without having to rush to go out visiting places. Now that we were approaching the end of our roadtrip, everyone was tired and we were all in need for a rest day! Today was the day, yeay!

However, not for Farhan! This was what he's been waiting for, his first day of fishing during this trip. This campsite has two lakes for him to fish for free. Can you spot him?

This was real good especially we'd been eating only seafood lately ever since our frozen food were all gone.

Farhan spent all day long at the lake. He just came back to the cabin to eat and pray! We just let him enjoy his day and everyone got to do what they loved to. Sarah was definitely busy facebooking or myspacing at the cabin :P

When we were busy preparing for our dinner, Farhan came back with a big smile to show-off what he caught for the day, a small-mouth bass. D was ever ready with his grill. Heh!
I made sambal kicap for the companion to the grilled fish :)
