Probably for the Best

Day 15 -- There was a small part of me that was really disappointed to be doing a smooth water trip instead of a white water trip. But most of you have been white water rafting, right? So you know how it works. Can you imagine jamming this fat swollen foot under the seat in front of you so you wouldn't fall out of the boat when you hit a Class 6 rapid? It's painful to think about.

The smooth water trip turned out to be fantastic. We had perfect weather. It was in the upper 90's with a beautiful blue sky. Our guide instructed us to lean over and dip our hats or shirts in the water and put them back on soaking wet to stay cool. It was kind of fun to put on a wet shirt and have it be completely dry in less than 20 minutes. There was a gentle breeze blowing that day and even though it was hot, we were very comfortable.
