I have to admit that I have never been in a kayak before. I’ve always had small rowboats. Still, there’s a strong sense of freedom that comes from gliding over the water and going someplace that you’ve never been. I guess that it’s the perception of a broken barrier. We seem to crave a life without any restrictions. Thanks to Hollywood our perspective of what constitutes an adventure is colored by images of Indiana Jones trudging through the jungle or people in some life and death struggle with the elements. But adventure can be as simple as deciding to do something new. It doesn’t even have to be a thousand miles away from home. In fact there’s a lot to be said for having a warm bed and WiFi when the sun goes down. But I digress. My Appalachian Mountains are full of rivers and streams with all kinds of little coves and hidden beauty to explore. I have been told by a friend that while exploring a local river he found a hidden cash of prehistoric stone points. (I’m sworn to secrecy as to the exact spot on which river). Even the little creek that runs through my yard has yielded a few fossils. But the best reward we get from our rivers is the tranquility that comes from peacefully floating around and going wherever your heart takes you.
Beautiful river indeed!!

Yes. I completely agree that adventure doesn’t necessarily have to mean adrenaline pumping through your blood. It can simply be trying something new, like a new restaurant, something different from the menu, exploring your city, visiting landmarks in your area. We have Tower of London nearby which is a UNESCO world heritage site. Adventure is so all-encompassing. 🙂

If I’m ever in the old country I want to visit the tower. (I am a descendant of William the conqueror on my mother’s side. )

It’s not really a big deal in America and in the words of Joey from Friends. “The line is so far away that it’s a dot.” My 5th great grandmother was the connection.
