An Excerpt from Shannon's Journal

A few students have been journaling our adventures this week but none of them as diligently as Shannon P. Here is a selected excerpt from her day 1 experience white water rafting:

"After we finished eating we left to go white water rafting. The ride to get to the river was very bumpy but fun. As we got ready we put on helmets and life vest. We learned what the foreword and backward commons were. The first rapid was easy and calm. No one fell off. As we got further down the river we got closer to the other rafts. Oh, I forgot to mention I was in the boat with Ty and Allison. Our guide was named Roberto. When we got close to any other rafts we had a splashing war. One of our white water rafting got up to 4 that were rough. Allison almost fell out twice. The water was really nice and warm compared to what I'm use to. One hour before we went to lunch we got to jump off the raft into the water and go swimming for like 2 mins. We got to splash each other as we were swimming. The last rapid before lunch was really fun because all the people on the raft had to work together to get pass it. For lunch all of our guides made us a burrito."
