Galilee Day #4 - Jordan River Rafting

When I applied to come to the Jerusalem Center I had no idea how awesome it would be. I assumed that the classes would be informative, and I was excited about going to sites with biblical significance. I didn't even imagine all the extra trips and activities we would be doing. On Thursday we went rafting on the Jordan River. They loaded six of up in each inflated raft, gave us two oars, and sent us down the river. At first we weren't great at steering so we ran into the sides a lot which was a problem because the banks of the river were covered with trees and all sorts of plants. One of the guys in our raft actually fell out when we ran into a rough patch, but we got him back and the paddle as well. There were just a few very light rapids, nothing big but fun to go through.
