Rio Pacuare rafting trip

---

Megan and I went on a great rafting trip with 11 of the other teachers from school. It was an exhilarating trip during rainy season here in Costa Rica. The river Paquare is supposedly classified as class 3 and 4 rapids with 5 being the highest on the scale. I am have no idea if the rapids were that big but they were definitely big enough for us. We stopped half way and had lunch and then finished dog-tired ready to collapse and go to bed early. The section of river we ran was quite remote and wildlife was plentiful. We saw a number of toucans flying overhead and heard lots of monkeys in the trees. I will let the photos do the talking and leave a strong recommendation for all interested to try this yourself. By the way, the water was great!

More coming soon from our trip to Nicaragua...

Hey John, Sounds like you and Meg and the other teachers had a great trip. Glad the guide got you back safely. Looks like Tammy Jones would love to do that. I know she has in Colo. She just did like a 3 wk river trip someplace in her kayak. Had a couple cousins from So Africa here for 3 wks. Left for NY yesterday then to London. Lee is at the Cape for a few days with his girlfriend and her fam so I hope he'll be back in the city in time ti show them his apt and go out to dinner with them Wed nite. He did see them here though. Take care you two Love Frannie
