Tubing the river!


Hello again, blogfans!
Today, MDB and I went "tubing" on the San Marcos river!
What's "tubing" you say? Well, comedian Ron White has a pretty good spiel about tubing on the river. He wondered what everyone was doing after several hours of floating down the river drinking beer from a huge floating cooler having not seen a single soul get out and relieve themselves, only to realize that everyone was merely relieving themselves ON themselves! He thought, 'well, if everyone else is just peeing on themself, I guess I'LL just pee on MYSELF!!!'

Of course, he was in a canoe..........standing up!

Well.....our experience wasn't QUITE like that! First of all, most "tubers" around here tube the Guadalupe River, not the San Marcos. The Guadalupe, though not as clean as the San Marcos, is deeper and runs faster for the most part. There are more twists and turns, and more rapids on the Guadalupe. The San Marcos, for the most part, is a more sanguine experience, but the water is so clear and cold! It's AWESOME!!!

Anyway, that's what we did this morning. NOW we're going back to the outlet mall to exchange some stuff that we bought the other day and to replace a pair of sunglasses that I lost in the "rapids" on the San Marcos!
