Kayaking on the Delta Tigre

Following the meetings with two different companies in the morning, we set out to go on a kayaking adventure on the Delta Tigre.  Upon entering the beautiful city of Tigre, everyone was admiring its beauty as Sofia was talking to us about all the interesting things that make this city very unique.  After seeing its beauty, we were all really excited to get out on the water.  There were many different options in term, how many people you wanted to kayak with.

Students choose to be in a ten person row boat, a two person or three person kayak.  Depending on the boat that the students picked some people were able to relax on a bigger boat, while others got their workout in paddling the smaller kayaks.

At first, we were kayaking around a small cove and everyone was splashing each other and “accidentally” bumping other’s kayaks.  I’m pretty sure Chris and Professor Zdravkovic made it their mission to bump everyone’s kayak along the way.  Once we started kayaking down the river, we were continuously looking from left to right to look at all the cute houses that were on either side.  At one point, we even saw some adorable dogs, Jackie even said “that she would jump out of her kayak to go and pet the German Shepard”.  Many students were racing each other and making it a competition.  Also, we watched as some people, who had never kayaked before, become very good at this new activity.

As we left the smaller part of the river and entered into one of the busier parts, many people felt their fair share of waves as the taxi boats and other boats would pass on by.  There was one time when two boats passed by us at the same time and a bunch of us got splashed by the waves.  The water was so refreshing because it was about 90°.  Three of the students even jumped in the river when we were finished kayaking.  Overall, today was a really fun day on the water filled with lots of laughs and smiles.
