As some of you know, living the river life can't be beat. There is something magical about floating along in your own craft, watching the birds and scenery pass and being a part of a team to set up camp, make dinner, fetch water, tell tales, and sleep and wake with the sun.
The stretch was well suited to the group's skills, with a nice mix of lazy, flat stretches and more technical rapids. This was an important bonding experience for the group and as Dawn put it yesterday, "The teachers are falling that much more in love with these girls -- learning about each other's lives, hopes and dreams for the future." I know this group will only continue to grow as they experience more of southern Africa together and can't wait for new river stories and maybe even pictures.
