White Water Rafting

Today we woke up bright and early again to head out to our White Water rafting adventure 2.5 hours away on the Sarapiqui River! It was quite the ride. We saw a lot of coffee plantations and beautiful scenery. Here's (most) of the group next to the La Paz waterfall. It was beautiful!



Everyone had a blast white water rafting! You're going to hear a lot of fun stories. So far, it is the highlight of the trip. 

Here is Hannah's blog about the day. 



Reflection Hannah S

    Today was so fun! We went white water rafting and then ate some delicious sugar cane products. During white water rafting I was in a raft with Ms.Mahoney. She fell out of the raft and it was really funny, because our guide kept on calling her big fish  And because she loss Ms. Brehauts water shoe She then tried to get in the raft and couldn't. Twice.
     While Ms. Mahoney was struggling to get in we all laughed at her. After that my guide also fell in the water, we all jumped in. Andrew S and I got in the raft easily but Katie, Julianna and miss Mahoney struggled.while trying to get in the raft Julianna grabbed the plug the inflated the raft and almost un inflated our raft. Personally I almost fell out of the raft more the 5 times. We also got stuck on rocks a lot We all got very wet which was funny .
    We stopped during white water rafting and had some water melon and pineapple. While at our fruit eating area we pet cows and cliff dived.Mac W and I enjoyed petting a tan and brown cow while it drank water and ate our food.
   After rafting we went to Lunch and I had some really good rice.while there we were given a lesson in sugar cane. We drank sugar cane drinks while our chaperones  enjoyed something else. (Sugar cane sticks) Today was awesome!


Making sugar cane juice! 



The day really wore everyone out, even Hannah, who fell asleep shortly after writing this reflection.
