Sunday I went on my first river trip! My beginning kayaking class went to a part of the Snake river outside Asotin, WA and spent a few excellent hours learning to navigate eddies and rapids. It was extremely nerve-racking and at times exhausting (even though our leaders were visibly bored by the Class II water) and THE BEST THING EVER. I want to kayak forever. Except that I am still majorly scared of it.
On the way back, during one of the few hours in the trip in which we actually had radio reception (when we didn't, the radio would just scan straight through the entire FM frequency over and over. It was eerie), we caught some Don McLean. I was half-asleep in the very back of our minivan, staring out at the rolling fields in the sun, and for some reason, it was a very perfect moment.
