A Class of its Own!

 Before we leave the Philippines I thought we might go back in time! Michelle, myself, her brother and gf, and her father went white water rafting 3 weeks back. Unfortunately we did not have any pics of our own, but we borrowed some from Michelle's dad.

 The Maetang River lies north of Chiang Mai and was home to our white water ride. It is one of the several attractions of The Peak Adventures Tour. I'm sure a lot of you have rode on the Deschutes River in Maupin, OR but the rapids in Thailand make "Boxcar" look like child's play. Filled with class III and class IV rapids, several times we had paddlers go overboard (Derek) haha!

 Our guide was a world class kayaker and was leaving the following month to train in China with his best friend who had qualified for The Olympics this summer in England. One of the most fun things both Michelle and I have done since being here! It was very safe and the instructors were very comedic and enthusiastic.

 We currently are in Cebu City awaiting our flight to Manila, where we are spending a couple of days. Unfortunately our rendezvous with my family is not happening but that's not stopping us from exploring the "Pearl of the Orient."
