Another Amazing Adventure

Today was another day that left me scraped and bruised but also loving this country even more. We went rafting in the best river in the country, the Pacuare River. I have been rafting once in Tennessee but this definetly trumps that trip. We were out on the river for over three hours and got a decent breakfast and an awesome lunch too. Our guide Roberto, was pretty much the best guide ever. We got to jump in the water a lot, spent a good three minutes spinning the boat around and surfing the waves, got stuck on a rock, and then we even swam one of the calm rapids while holding on to the boat, (which lead to a small injury via a sharp rock but hey who do you know who swims in rapids?) And the weather was pure perfection! The weather has certainly been less than perfect reacently but today it was nice and sunny all day. And the river was high because of all the rain from the tropical storm, so the conditions were fabulous. So today was a great day and tomorrow we leave for a very long bus ride to the Osa Penninsula where we will all probably get more sun burn.
