Dear Diary,
Today I almost froze my butt off, LITERALLY!
Beth and I floated down the Merced River in the Yosemite Valley. Upon entering it we almost chickened ou
t. It was sooooo cold and we only had our inner-tubes to keep us afloat. We managed to get in them with out falling in, oy!
I thought perhaps on my stomach might keep more things out of the frigid water. . . nope! I almost stopped breathing it hurt so bad. I had to get in the water and wade back to the shore--painfully. I haven't ever been that cold! I got back on and braced myself for the nice long ride. At one point we poked our bottoms to see if we could feel anything and . . . we COULDN'T!
It was a nice float. We had awesome views of the surroundings.
Once our bums were numb it was nice.
All in all it was a delightful trip. I'd go again. . . in a few weeks when the temperature of the water has had time to go up :) To much snow melting for now!
