In Case You Were Wondering What It Is Like to Swim In Rapids

Yesterday I went white water rafting with South American Explorers in Santo Domingo. The trip was a blast. We hit awesome waves, fell on top of eachother inside of the boat, and got sore from paddling.

At the end of the trip, I got to have my own adventure. We were braving the last section of rapids when I fell out of the boat. Suddenly, I found myself underneath the raft. I pulled myself out, only to be propelled 20 feet away from the boat by the water. I attempted to swim back to the raft, only to get dunked by three massive waves. I swallowed so much water that I felt like I was going to pass out. Fortunately, I did not. I met back up with the raft and my friends pulled me inside.
