I had the best time reading your reactions
to the whitewater rafting pictures last week! Oh my goodness. Such an
adventure, right??
So
today I want to tell you about the rest of that day. When we returned to
our car, we changed into dry clothes and headed out for lunch. More than
anything, I wanted coffee. I’d had very little that day, and it was starting to
show. We were in a small town, and they had an old church that had been
converted into a café, so we went there for lunch.
We sat in the corner
and people watched while we drank coffee and ate our lunch. Salad for me and a
sandwich for Ryan!
By the time we
finished lunch, it was early afternoon, and we were both tired. But I really
did want to hike a little bit, so we set out on some new adventures.
We started at the
overlook that let us see the same bridge we had seen from the raft that morning.
It was so much bigger up close!
Then we made our way
to a trail that our rafting guide had told us about that morning. It was called
the Endless Wall Trail, and it was a little challenging to find. We were trying
to find a cliff the guide had told us about, and it took us a while to find
that, too. (We were SO CLOSE, missed it, and walked quite a ways beyond it
before backtracking and finally finding it.)
Ryan was brave enough
to climb down part of the rocky cliff face. I stayed up on top and feared for
his safety while he was gone.
Looks like that wasn’t
entirely unfounded.
Ryan’s thrill of the
day was rafting. Mine was this!!
Look how tiny the river
looks from here! And to think we were rafting it just hours earlier. Crazy!
The trails really were
beautiful, and I was so glad we got to enjoy them for a little bit, but we were
both ready to head back to the hotel for some rest and…pizza! A well-deserved treat
after a long day of rafting and hiking.
We watched a couple of
movies, did our Bible study, and prepped to come home the next day!
