What 'babes in the woods' we were back then.
Now you're got ME thinking back to my niece going to Europe the year she graduated from Carolina; in all the excitement of the trip, I never once gave thought to ANY of this.
Not even when Drew and HowlinNephew took my mother (and her credit cards) for a long tour of Europe; I mean, I *know* Drew was out at bars, partying, and renting jetskis on the Riveria. Where was my mind?
And when HowlinNiece called from Switzerland to say that she was disappointed because it was overcast and she couldn't go parasailing, I was relieved, never realizing that what she did get to do, "canyoning," was ILLEGAL in the United States. What could I have been thinking?
I wonder what your parents would say today!
Canyoning can be treacherous. There are risks associated with scrambling down uneven, slippery surfaces and abseiling in wet, cold conditions. Several fatalities have occurred in this sport as a result of flash flooding, the most infamous of which happened when a group of tourists on a commercial canyoning adventure trip were drowned in Switzerland in 1999.
i am telling you if there was a flake of snow in the air i was not allowed to go anywhere bc of bad weather. and they let me to go to COLOMBIA. xsteen loves spanish and would love to go to a southamerican country, the only one i would be comfortable with is costa rica and i have been there, and she would not go ANYWHERE without me. i told xsboy, if he thinks that he would even go to the DE/MD beaches with his friends after graduation, he better be prepared for MOMMY to be coming too! ; )
