Rafting in Israel

I am writing from sunny Tel Aviv. Last week, I took the family on a nice float trip down a tributary of the Jordan river. Nothing exreme, just a bump and grind down a pretty river, decent current, a bit of splashing. And of course, dunking nieces and nephews in the water.

A very different trip than the lower Jordan, which is a fast paced, highly technical, VERY exciting trip. Guiding two seasons on the Jordan a couple years back gave me a different perspective on rafting, and helped me develop some advanced skills. When the kids are a little older, I'll take them there.

Being here on a family visit takes me off of Maine rivers for about a month in the middle of the season, which is pretty weird for me. Looking forward to being back.
