White Water Rafting!

This morning, we drove down to Pacuare River, one of the most beautiful and scenic rivers in all of Costa Rica. It was about a long 90 minute drive to the river, but breakfast was included in the price! The drive there and back was also very scenic with beautiful mountian ranges to our left and right. We were all anxious to get there and go rafting. None of us have been white water rafting before, and I was nervous!



We finally got there but it took a little while for us to get our equipment together; plus, we had a novice rafting lesson. We finally got into the raft and I couldn't stand but smile. We were supposed to have three to four people in the boat, but our guide let us bend the rules. We started off, the five of us and our tour guide, in a raft floating gently down the river. It was easy at first but it got a lot harder! We all got wet a few times, but it was very fun.


We stopped about half way through, to eat a picnic lunch. They brought us sandwhiches, subs and chips, which I thought was the perfect picnic. We finished eating and took off to finish the other half of the 18 mile river!
