Turkey Day 3.

Today was a very fun filled, action packed day. I went rafting down the Dalaman River with eight other people. When I first go there, I didn't know quite what to expect, and I was a little lost, but a friendly lady helped me find where I was supposed to go. Her name was Natasha, and she was leading the beginner raft that was leaving in fifteen minutes. I would be on her raft. I finally got all my gear and onto the raft, and the only seat left was the one right in front next to a girl around my age. Before we set off, Natasha briefed us about what we were to expect, and what we had to do if we fell overboard... Once we got started though, it was really fun, there were around eight waterfalls that we went down, and we were all yelling the whole way down. Right after we leveled off from the first one, a woman fell of the back of the boat. Luckily she was good at swimming so she had no problem staying afloat. We got her back on board eventually, and she didn't seem any worse for wear. This could have been a lot worse if there happened to be a rock where she fell, but there wasn't and she was fine, When we weren't going over waterfalls, we were listening to birds and telling stories about our travels to one another. At one point, we passed under a very old and decrepit bridge that said something in Greek, which I later learned said, "How lucky a man I am, to have built this wonderful bridge over this enchanting river..." It was a great experience, and I would totally do it again, even if one of us fell overboard again. I had a lot of fun, and got completely drenched in the process. I am happy I had this experience. http://www.ayt-group.net/rafting/images/rafting/dalaman/2.jpg our little group of rafters  Photo from Dalaman River / Dalaman / Turkey the bridge from down the river
