White Water Rafting

The past weekend, Pishi and I along with my brothers went to an adventure organized by IAUT. This adventure was white water rafting at river runners rafting resort in Ottawa.

Rafting was fantastic. I never thought that I could do it and that I would chicken out but I did it and enjoyed it a lot. We drove to the resort Friday afternoon and by the time we reached there it was past mid night.
We got up early, had breakfast and head to a cave that was about 40 minutes to our resort where we learned about the fossils and the type of stones there. Most of the stones found around Ottawa are sedimentary rocks. The cave we visited was interesting and we actually saw a bat!
We got back to the resort and had lunch and got prepared for training for the rafting and head upstream Ottawa river. Our guide, Mikhal was very fun and strong, our raft that had 12 people in it, were a fun group. We managed not to fall out of the raft in the strong waves, except once were pishi fell out of the raft! Other than that we went in to the water and swam in the calm areas of the river. My brothers and pishi jumped off a cliff as well into the river and swam to shore but I was too scared even though I really wanted to jump!
Dinner and the movie of our adventure afterwards were great. We played a game that we learnt there called "Mafia" with a group of our friends till past midnight.
The next day, although a group of the people went to Ottawa for site seeing, we decided to head back as it was a long drive.
Pishi and I decided to take a vacation day today, to relax. So far it has been very relaxing specially that our lunch was provided by my mom!
