    We went white water rafting on class 2 and 3 rapids.  It was so much fun!  We had a great guide on our boat that made the trip very enjoyable.  About halfway down the river, we stopped for a much-needed snack.  The guides took one of the 4 boats from our group and turned it upside down on the beach and used it as a cutting board to cut up about 4 pineapples, 4 watermelons, and a bunch of mangoes.  It was some of the juiciest fruit we’ve ever eaten- juice was dripping down our faces and arms!  Then it started pouring rain, so it washed it all away.  We even learned that you can skip watermelon rind across the water like a stone.

    At the end of the trip, we went to the home of the owner of the company for a late lunch- beef stew, chicken stew, beans and rice, and fresh papaya juice.  The people were always so welcoming and friendly wherever we went!
