THE GREAT RIVER AMAZON RAFT RACE 2007

“Made it back from the Rio Amazonas Raft Race; what an adventure, this makes Survivor seem like child’s play, but packed into four intense days. Twenty-four teams compete in two categories, domestic and foreign. Claudine turned out to be thirty-two, a doctor from Zurich, Switzerland. We met at the Yellow-Rose Café. We were sitting alone on the sidewalk tables enjoying a cool morning drink when we struck up a conversation. As it is when traveling, we quickly made the decision to enter the Great River Amazon Raft Race 2007. While I took care of the registration, Claudine struck up a conversation with a tall young German girl that in many ways reminded me of my daughter. Sonja from Güttingen, Germany became our third team member of the four person balsa-raft. We needed one more person. “
