"White Water" Rafting

May 25th 2007 Okay, so Im not a swimmer. If ever in deep water, Im good for about 30 seconds, than its over. Not being comfortable in the water is in conflict with many vacation activities. When I was in Dominica a few months ago, one of the most beautiful places Ive ever seen, Titu Gorge, was of course, a gorge. With a little coaxing and a floatty belt, I was able to experience that place.

Here in Turrialba, the rivers are king. Rafters from all over come here just for the rapids and the rivers. So, I went rafting. Luckily its been a relatively "dry" week, the rivers werent swollen and the rapids werent as big. It reminded me a little of the Delaware river My Dad took me, my mom and dvora down on a vacation many years ago. there was a little more chop, but nothing where your at risk of falling out of the boat. check out the pix...
