Natasha! WOW! I mean WOOOOOW! That must have been SOME experience! But what a story to tell after you've healed! This reminds me of the time my family went rafting on the Beas river (Himachal). Our first time and have a super duper time, when, WHOOSH......my hubby falls into the river! The captain or whatever you call those muscle bound hulks who lead the group, swung the boat around (no mean feat in mid stream, I tell u....raging waters all around, snarling rocks...the works!!) and LITERALLY picked him up by the seat of his pants! When we finally made it to shore, all the others were very envious.....apparently hubby got a bonus (free dunking), which the others did'nt!!
Jas, good to hear from you. Terrible accident, I'm glad you escaped so lightly. Have fun fishing!

Lez, good to know you liked India well enough to come back again. I hope you have a wonderful time here, it's a great country!
Happy LCing everyone,
Anu
