Have you ever done white water rafting?? If you haven't and you are in US; you should not miss it, its awesome. Last weekend it was my turn to experience it; along with 18 of other colleagues from my office. We had gone in 3 vans, to West Virginia; to get the experience of a Class Five white water rafting in the middle Gauley river.
We had to drive for 5 hours to reach the place; changed dress to wet suits, wore life jacket and helmet. Then they took us in a bus to the actual location - around 1 hour travel - we had to carry the big boat. We divided ourself into group of nine, then the guide. He had twenty years of experience in water rafting. 8) we jumped into the boat, and started our 4 hour journey to lower Gauley, through the rapids.
The first rapid was awesome there was a rock in the middle which was adventurous; after that the two gals in the boat become little relieved. Then there were places were we could jump in to water. i have tried that and it was very nice to hang on to the boat wearing a life jacket you know. One of my friend was singing also in the boat; so it was kind of an unforgettable trip.
To the end of the river trip we all became tired and the cold was unbearable for some of the people. Again we had to sit in the bus for 1 hour to reach back.
As usual bought a fridge magnet as souvenir; now i have a pretty good collection of fridge magnets. As always Nishant inspired me for this habit too. Next week there are so many event to happen - MY DRIVING TEST - i have to call up the driving school to fix up and appointment for Sunday to learn the parallel parking. Tues day again i have to call him to take me to the test. I don't want to fail in this. I have to clear it at first attempt itself. I don't have money to pay the driving school :(
