White Water Rafting.... Yeahhhhh Buddyyy

By Leen

Today the Megs and I went on quite the adventure, white water rafting down the Urubamba River.  The sun was hot and our attire was even hotter (full wet suits, a yellow pullover that we really didn´t know the purpose of -minus ruining any chance of tanning our arms, and big puffy life jackets that had a slight fowl smell).  Apparently the French dug our look as one called as Sexy ladies as we posed for a pre-rafting pic.  When it came to selecting our rafting partners, we made it a point to grab the 3 men standing near us solely for the purpose that we wanted them to do most the paddling.  Fortunately, not only were they great paddlers but they were also great company!  Our guide Americo, who only fell on me twice throughout the adventure, was a great instructor and took fabulous pics (to be posted soon). He was almost always encouraging except for when the left side (Meg, Meg, and David) seemed to get distracted.  After two hours or so of rafting through up to level 3 rapids, we were fed a delicious lunch with tea, soup, amazing bread, some chicken and veggies- I swear it was better than it sounds.  The day finally ended with zip lining across the river.  Meg C was the brave one to do it -I opted to stay on land and admire all of our very attractive guides.  They didn´t speak the best English but we had a great convo about veggies haha.  Another wonderful day spent traveling con mi chicas ;)
