We awoke at 5:30 in the morning to head off towards Canyon City, Colorado for our whitewater rafting trip. On the way, we stopped for a McDonalds breakfast (which was sweet cause I’m never awake early enough to get it) and arrived there six hours later. We got there in time to grab some lunch before our adventure down the river. After checking in, renting a splash jacket (good move by us, definitely helped repel the 63 degree water), and hearing the safety tips, we hopped on a bus for the short ride down to the Royal Gorge section of the Arkansas River. Down at the river we met our raft guide, Tim, who gave us detailed instructions on everything to know and expect from the river. We were told exactly when and how to paddle, ... read more

Well, I am back in the United States of America now...actually back at home in Florence right now, for a few days before summer classes start- physics and differential equations should be a blast. I apologize for the lack of blog updates in the past month, I got to Switzerland and L'abri and just never did... So where to begin? L'abri was amazing. Truly it was such a great place to be for a month before graduate school begins. I was only supposed to be there for three weeks, but was there for two days and then extended my stay for another week, which meant that I gave up traveling with Sarah, but she understood, that it was just something I needed to do. So, what is L'abri?, I am sure some of you are wondering. ... read more

The cast of characters: Me, my bro, my sis-in-law, her friend and a chorus of Army officers. The plan: breakfast (at IHOP!!!), then an afternoon of white water rafting. OK, first of all, yay for IHOP! And yay for a much larger menu out in CO, as compared to Cleveland. After breakfast, we headed out to Canon City (that's pronouced canyon). We were delayed a bit b/c the Army's finest had to grab some beer so that they could pre-party before heading down the river. Don't you feel better about our nation's safety? Of course, it turns out that the buzzed officers were prob'ly better boatmates than the other people who were on our trip. There was one guy who thought everything was "righteous"...aw yeah. Then there was the woman who tried to put her helmet ... read more
