Hey everyone so it is really easy for me to get to a computer here so i will blog as much as i can because it will become a lot less as i go on. Today i went white water tubbing with a good amount of the group and yes i did say tubbing it was awesome! we had to wear helmets and everything it was so cool we went off water falls and through rapids i have never done anything like it. Everyone in my group is really nice and cool. So hopefully ill be able to keep updating.
XO sophie
