Below are some pics of our bungee jumping adventure. About 30 of the 40 that went to Jinha to raft down the Nile jumped. From the top is me, Redmond, Angela, and tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum that woke all of us scampering on the roof at seven in the morning. The jump was 145ft down, and most of us opted to dip in the water. You really have no idea how high it is till you shuffle out to the ledge with your ankles tied together.
I have pics of rafting, but probably wont get those developed till January. We went down 5 class fives and a couple of fours and threes. Our raft only tipped once (BOO!) but I was held under a class five rapid for around ten seconds, mostly because the raft was over me. You never realize how long ten seconds is till your thrashed around by white water, have a boat on your head, and realize you forgot to hold your breath because of the adrenaline. I had the biggest smile on my face and bobbed to the surface laughing. They had cold cut sandwiches for us at mid-day and more than enough food. As we were getting back onto the rafts I got filmed by the rafting film crew with two pieces of bread in my mouth as we paddled out. That would be me.

ReplyDeleteWow! Bungee jumping and rafting! Does not sound like it could be any better.
ReplyDeleteOh, the Lord is so good in His love. He gives good things to his children, because He delights in us. May you know the love of God this week for you. Understand how He is restoring you and making you alive in Him so that you can have Life To The Full!
Jesus is God's favorite and under Jesus's blood God sees you like Jesus, therefore YOU are God's favorite. Get excited!
Peace.
Hey there! Dad and Dede and Gary and I made it up to the mountains for a week to see the leaves change and experience something other than HOT! It's beautiful! So glad you survived your big adventures, but I sure hope you're not going to try and top those adrenaline-wise!! LOVE reading your blogs. Grant is on a spiritual high, trying again (and mostly succeeding) to be obedient in his relationship with Camille. Pray that the Lord will give him strength to FLEE when he needs to! LOVE YOU!! -the Original Mom :-)
