Canoeing, or, how we almost died.

Hahaha, I'd never have thought that I would first go canoeing in Germany. We went canoeing on the Elbe today, and while most of the time you go for say, 3 or four miles, we had to go above and beyond that.

22 kilometers, guys. That's around 13.5 miles.

Needless to say, my entire body hurts. I feel like an old lady and haven't left my bed except for dinner. Also, it began to rain halfway through our trip and then a barge came up the Elbe, and that plus rain plus wind created currents. I thought we were going to die, no joke. Apparently it was bad enough that our tour guide almost made us get out of the water, but we persevered!

I have never been so happy to see land again in my life. Good day though, except for the rain and almost dying, and canoeing is now something I would like to do more frequently, so I guess it wasn't all bad.
