White Water Rafting - for adrenaline junkies!

We were last to board the bus.  As I looked around I felt we were the misfits.  Had we made a mistake? Fifteen young American kids, not long out of college....and us!  Oh, well age and experience counts.  Right?

We went white water rafting on Grade II and III Rapids on the Rio Balsa.  The briefing alone was enough to deter the faint hearted.  If you fall out of the raft do this....... If you are in the water and you are in trouble raise your hands above your head......... If the person next to you falls out of the raft it Is your responsibility to pull him in......... If we turn over........ And so on.  We will be rafting for 9 miles.

IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!  An amazing, amazing experience.  And despite all the frenetic activity, we somehow managed to look up and spot a two toed sloth high in the trees above us.

After the rafting we enjoyed a great lunch at an organic farm, tasted sugar cane, and drank 130 percent proof sugar cane liquor - downed in one.  Well, we deserved it!
