Hello River Nile

Rafting is always a really great experience but it leave your totally warn out! On Sunday, we gathered a group of 7 to go and experience a great day on the Nile. Although there is always a risk in getting thrown out of a boat and being tossed around by the huge pressure of the waves, it's totally worth the risk! This was the third time I have gone and I think that every ride has been totally different. We had a fun ride on the bus laughing and making jokes. We took a ton of random pictures. I am sure everybody else was a little annoyed with our huge fits of laughter, but we really were just having a lot of fun! The guide we had from last year was there again. When Dennis recognized Paulo, we requested him as our guide again. He likes to tell a lot of random jokes and just relax during the day, so we knew it would be a good ride. Despite one person not knowing how to swim, and another who can barely swim, we had a good time and everybody was safe! When you look at the pictures you will probably assume it was a rough ride, and that's probably because it was. We flipped the boat more times than we stayed up throught the entire rapid, but I think it is even more fun that way sometimes. You try to hit the rapids in the hardest spot, which means you are more likely to flip the boat, which was totally fine by me! Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention we were the best boat. We were also the most diverse. We had the only two Uganda passengers along with two Americans from Asian countries, one from India and two Caucasions. We decided that our boat was the most international. In addition we had the most jokes, so clearly we had to have been the best! We had started the day before 7 am with a bus ride from Kampala to Jinga and didn't get home until after 9, so we were thoroughly exhausted. I was glad to take an easier day yesterday (Monday). My body needed to break!!
