03.17-18.09

outside gringo pete's too waiting for our 5:55am pickup for the raft trip






days 3 & 4 - we signed up for a 2 day raft trip on the rio pacuare with exploradores outdoors. they picked us up in la fortuna, took us to their base for breakfast and then dropped us off at the river. there were 3 others in our raft, 2 nice guys from mpls and a gal from spain. we had two guides, one on our raft and the other on a second raft with all of our gear and food for the night in the jungle. it was so much fun! the first day of rafting was pretty easy with class III rapids and beautiful scenery. the camp was very rustic with no electricity but we stayed up chatting and played dominoes under candlelight. our guides avel and kenneth cooked amazing meals for us. both days we stopped to hike up a river to a waterfall for some swimming and cliff jumping. the second day had a few class IV rapids and both bri and i fell out during one. i got bumped around a little under water but it was exciting. :)

the rafting pics are from the raft company, they have "river paparazzi" and then sell the pics on a cd when we were finished.
