This is a story about the biggest adventure in my life so far. Why? You will understand when you read the story.

It happened several months ago, in the summer of 2006. A group of my friends and I decided to go to rafting in Maine. We decided and did it.

My wife and I left too late - about 9 PM. That is why we arrived there late in the night. It was very difficult to find our friends' tents, because the camp was large and there were many other tents. It took about a half hour to find them. Actually our friends found us. They saw our car and stopped us. We were very happy to be together again. Our tent was ready, and we went to sleep immediately, because we were very tired from our traveling.

On the next day after the instructions about the rafting, we went to the river and our rafting began.

It was very exciting. Everything was okay until a big wave overturned our boat. All of us were under the boat in the river. The water was very cold but we didn't feel the cold. All of us were too much afraid for our lives and for the life of our spouse. The people from the other boats were afraid, too. We were 10 long minutes in the cold water before others saved us. I was looking for my wife, and I was very worried before I saw her. I was the happiest man in the world when I saw her. In the end, all of us were saved. All couples were together, and we were happy that all of us were alive.

For the rest of the day we spent a nice time in nature. Most of the time we were talking about what had happened to us that day. We were enjoying the fall sun and the nice weather.

I will never forget this day. Now I think you already know why this is the biggest adventure in my life so far. "So far" - because I hope I will have another big adventure soon.
