As if Roel had already not helped us out enough in guiding us through Texas, he proceeded to lead us to New Braunfels, TX which is home to the greatest invention known to mankind since our bus...floating the river. We drive for awhile south towards San Antonio, and come upon the town of New Braunfels where they offer inner tube-ing down a number of rivers. A couple rights and lefts brought us to the parking lot where one can rent an inner tube (for both oneself and one's beer...that's right, they have inner tubes for beer). We proceed to get our tubes and hop into the cool, crisp, light green river for our day of floating. It was very difficult work, sitting in the inner tube and letting the current carry us, but we got through it. Along the river are a couple of "tube chutes" that are amazing whitewater rapid-like chutes. We, of course, linked arms and went down the chutes together...and all flipped over together. The entire float took about two hours at which point we had to reluctantly get off of the river and into a shuttle bus to take us back. I would VERY highly recommend doing this activity to anyone who is hanging out around San Antonio or Austin; it is just shy of heaven. That's it for now, but here's a short preview of what's to come on our blog: our bus, named Rufus or Bruticus, has finally hit a roadblock and overheats because it goes through antifreeze faster than Jerone goes through hard liquor!
