Last weekend I went white water rafting on the Nile River. I never thought I would be saying that. I will just say that I was very humbled several times at those waves. I couldn't seem to get the hand of actually staying in the boat for the rapids and when I did I found it was so much more fun to go through them without falling out. When we came to the fifteen foot waterfall that had rocks at the bottom and if you fell out you were likely to get stuck and be shot out and rescued, I was a bit nervous. Actually terrified, because before this I had not managed to stay in the boat. I was really worried I was going to fall out and curl into a ball and hope to be spit out of the falls. God knew was anxious and I stayed in! For those who are regular rafters, these are class 5 rapids, so they are not joking!
I am so glad I went! I have a DVD of the trip as well to show you the seriousness of the waves.
