Great adventures in the rain

I have jsut got back to San Jose from a beutiful, great, exciting, wet one day trip of white water rafting. Or river rafting as I would like to call it. According to national geopraphic, this is the 5th best river for doing rafting and it was just totally great.

We were 6 persons, plus one instructor in a boat, we elarned commands such as paddle forward, back, get inside the boat (we were sitting on the sids) and go to one side. The whole trip took like 4 hours, with many rapids (the parts with a lot of waves and virvlar), around 50. First I was sitting in the middle, but then I was "befodrad" to sit in the front and it was so lovely, we got so so wet, totally wet, but no one from our boat fell over. In the beginning it was sunny and calm, but then it started raining so so much, but it was warm rain, the best rain ever, we also saw and heard the lightening and thunder from really close, and we were just all the time in the middle of the forest, no cars or anything else, just green trees, some birds, blue morphos and us. Mmm. I would so want to do it again. Want to travel to places to do it. It wasnt scarry at all, just fun.

Yesterday when we were coming back from university for peace(1h from the center), where we had held our presentation, there was a big storm also. the problem with this is that in the area there are many landslides, and one had happened, and sort of made the road even smaller and we still passed it. Were a bit afraid for more landslides, or getting stuck in the road, or fallin in to a river. Excting, but this was scarry. Tonight is the last time I see everybody. Tomorrow some beach.
