Dont drink the water


My group was back together for in service training last month and while the training itself was kind of a joke, it was a good excuse to see everybody and we took the opportunity to raft the Nile as a group. The rafting company asked us to split up into groups based on how crazy of a ride we wanted. Naturally, Eric, Dylan, Caroline, Gaylen, Bailey, Josh and myself opted for the wild ride. Our guide was a ugandan with an aussie accent. Im pretty sure all rafting guides are required to take rafting guide lingo 101, half of what came out of his mouth contained a wicked or a sick, or tight bro. He was fun  though and in hindsight actually did know what he was doing, we flipped on five of the seven rapids but on most of those thats what he was going for. After the third rapid and the third time flipping, we told him maybe we should try not going into the rapid sideways and see how that works out for us so we made it through the fourth rapid without flipping but decided that it wasnt as much fun that way. The fifth rapid is called The Bad Place, here's a sequence of our raft owning it, wicked bro!

Most of the group that went got sick a few days later. I was peeing out my butt for three days, a small price to pay.
