adventure, part 2

February 21, 2007

Here are some pictures of the rafting trip with Angela and her family (and friends) last January. Looking at the pictures really can't convey the amazing rush to the brain that you get after getting through a whirlpool, where all you can make out is the froth churned by the power of the current against the rocks. It also can't convey how damn tired and hungry you get afterwards. Hehe. 

This was actually from the second part of the trip. First part of the trip (kayaking/canoeing, and spelunking) coming soon. :D

(Thanks to Angela for the pictures. Let's have lunch again soon, ne?) 

See that nervous grin? You'd be nervous, too, if you saw the size of the Chico River. (At some parts, it seemed almost 400 feet across. The entire rafting run was 18 Km downriver.)

 

 

 

 

 

This was a pretty tame rapid, compared to some others we went through. Apparently, they name rapids after the people who fall into them. Good thing they aren't naming any rapids after me.

 

Bracing for the big one. What you don't see in this picture is the 3-foot drop we had to go through. Although, if you look at the picture closely, you can tell that the water is going down an incline…

 

The entire group, after the run. We were there with a group of cousins and their uncle. One thing was going on in our heads: "Can we do it again?"

We really should lunch more often! Or you could come over for a BSG marathon/sleepover! That is, if you want to risk my cooking…

Maann i miss the food at Anton’s! Ang galing ng kusinera niya!

Went to that Unemployed Philosopher’s Guild site… LOL i love the Freudian Slippers! And the Calvin and Hobbes t-shirt! As for watches, my fave is the Dali watch, hehe.
