In the end of August, I got the opportunity to "work my way" on a Grand Canyon rafting trip with my friends Chelsea and Grant whom we had met last year in India. We were on the water for about 10 days and worked for 12. Let me tell you, these river guides are tough, I was exhausted after one trip and they do this all season! We packed and unpacked the boats, cooked, cleaned, conversed, babysat and generally befriended 27 people for 220 miles through the canyon. It was a great experience, but I'm not quite ready to quit my day job...
