The rafting took around an hour and a half and included six or seven rapids of categories three and four. Before the first though we were taught the usual ...

... a lot colder than normal ice cream. I had to take a break between every lick so my tongue wouldn't get frostbite. My hypothesis is that because of the wine the freezing point is higher (I have every intention of testing this hypothesis with the icecream maker when I get home).

We went back to the town square and watched the very impressive floats, especially considering they were made by the students. The funniest thing is that one had been made using lots of old boxed-wine boxes. ...
