How was everyones weekend?

Yesterday I went white water raftingit was great I had a lot of fun. The water was freezing I thought I was going to go into shock

. The only thing that I would have changed would have been are guide

. The first 30 minutes down the Shenado River he was talking about his girlfriend and family. During this time we were suppose to be learning about the basics of white water rafting. Like the other 7 boats. So finally he told us a couple of things dont try to swim if you get thrown out of the boat. Where to place are feet. So finally we hear the rapid and we thought we were ready. The first couple of boats went down the left side of the river. Then it was our turn the ass went a different way. He took us down a level 4-5 rapid. It was some crazy shit thought for sure one of us was gone

. But we made it. So after that excitement we had to wait for the other group and the guy that runs the show was so pissed

at are guided. He wasnt aloud to do that. He was in some big shit. So we continued down the river looking at all the historical parts and freezing. The trip got better hitting all the rapids (level 2-3). Finally after being on the river for 5 hours it was over. About 3 or 4 people had to be rescued. Im glad it wasnt me. All the guides were talking about how we had such perfect timing planning are trip because of the hurricanes. It made such a differences with the river
Cant wait to do it again!
