Today, Thursday, January 16, is our Day at Sea. So last night, rather than staying up ‘til all hours, we watched the dance show after dinner and went to bed early.
Yesterday afternoon we paid $20 for pictures of us braving white water rafting down the Savegre River (indigenous word for “savage”) while stopped at Quepos, Costa Rica. I’m posting those pictures now and later today I’ll do my pictures from yesterday’s walk through another rain forest.
You may not want to look at them all – 43 in total – unless you enjoy seeing old people with their mouths wide open paralyzed with fear.
Actually, the Tauck folk renamed the activity from “White Water Rafting” to “River Float” so as not to frighten passengers. In actuality, the river was wild enough for some fun but not all that crazy. The scenery was nice and our guide, Nicolas was fun, expertly maneuvering our raft to provide maximum fun and plentiful face fulls of water.
Great pictures of your rafting. That looks like so much fun!
It was a blast and a beautiful river as well.
What fun! Keep up making more fun filled days!
You can count on it!
You guys will have to raft out of Greenville next summer. The class of whitewater can quite a bit more exciting depending on the water release. Take the whole family. Good guides even have you float in the water during a section of class one if you want the close up view.
Your expressions were great while you had the front seats. When we went I had to leave my glasses behind to prevent loss.
We’re good, thanks. Once and done for us old folks. Only if dragged their by kids.
Great pictures of your rafting. That looks like so much fun. I loved it when I did it years ago.
We did it years ago too. It’s a different experience the older you get! Still fun, but getting in and out and dealing with cramped up joints with arthritis is a challenge!
