Eiki the Saint

Yesterday I went white water rafting. It was for a friends bachalor party. Here in Iceland the friends of the groom show up unexpectadly and kidnap him. Then you take him around and make him do silly things. We skipped the silly things part and took our friend Hjalti to the country side and went rafting down the Hvítá river. Hvítá is a glacial river that flows from the Glacier Langjökull. This is the same river that flows over Gullfoss. Gullfoss is the waterfall that we almost lost Jake Farrell on this past winter.  The water was very cold and thanks to Baldur (pictured below in the wetsuit) I spent a good part of my day floating in an arctic river. We were also able to jump off a rock about 26 feet high. That was awesome! It was an amazing day with amazing people.
