Day 3 On the Road!

This trip so far has been so much fun. But, the car ride from Mendocino to the Trinity Alps was somewhat fun and really boring. My car group was the best and we were all singing along to every song especially One Direction. Kate’s driving was also really funny because she would speed up and stop all of the sudden because of a turn. Other than that I got to sleep last night out side on our cabin balcony and hear the river run beside us.

I think that this is one of the best trips that I have ever been on and it with my class! So far it has been amazing. We have basically no down time we do something awesome everyday. Today is white water rafting and I’m so excited! I slept on the balcony last night and it was freezing! Hopefully I will be inside tonight. Yesterday was really hard. We were in a car all day listening to the same music in the same seats. Today will defiantly be a lot better but it has been amazing so far!

I am having a really fun time! Yesterday we drove from Mendocino to trinity surprisingly the drive did not feel like 6 hours. It did get a bit annoying listening to the same song about 20,0000 times in a row but in the last 5 minuets of the drive every one was singing and dancing including James. Trinity is heaven there food is really good and the cabins are big enough for the entire school to stay in. I am really exited for the rafting today and hoping not to freeze my toes off. Hi Mom!

Exploring the tide pools and paddling Big River were exceptionally rewarding. The tide was just low enough that we were able hike along the base of ocean cliffs and make our way into several caves. These caves are completely submerged at high tide. There was a remarkable variety of life in the pools within each cave. The colors of luminous greens, vivid pinks and oranges, and purples make stumbling over the rocky shore worth the pain. On the river we had the pleasure of meeting up with well feed sea lions, observing otters busy hunting lunch, and catching glimpses of cormorants and turns gliding with ease over the river’s glassy surface. I have to confess the fish jumping out of the river and nipping at my swimming trunks sort of freaked me out.
