American River

Went river rafting for the first time yesterday. 17 people comprising of my cousin's old college friends and their families. I expected more rapids but the river was shallow and calm yesterday. It was fun though. I haven't made close friends since I've started college, but I hope my SF friends and I will get the opportunity to do something adventurous like my cousin's group. The last time they road down the river was 23 years ago. Talk about close friendships.

I regret not bringing my camera out onto the river. I think all of us expected the river to be wild and for everything to get soaked. Well, we did get wet but that was because of our water fights. My umbrellas came in handy for self defense! lol

We had Lee's viet sandwiches and fruit for lunch. Enjoyed a nice BBQ at one of the friend's house in Sac after floating downstream for about 3 hours.

I'm so glad I didn't get sunburned. My legs saw sunlight for the first time in 2(?) years!

it was loads of fun! I don't think we had a class..or maybe my cousin didn't say. There were little kids in the group so I don't think we could have handled extreme rapids.

We should go together!!!
