Thursday August 20th,
This morning, we headed back to Murillo de Gállego for our next adventure, whitewater rafting! We were glad that this time, we didn't have as much trouble putting on our neoprene suits.

We drove to the nearby Gállego river where we received our first lesson in whitewater rafting. We had our own raft and guide, although we shared the river with quite a few other rafts. After learning all the safety rules and how to turn and move around in the raft, we set off down the river. It was really fun, even Ciara had to smile :)
After our half day of rafting, we decided to visit a nearby castle called the Castillo de Loarre. We were really impressed with this castle which was built mainly in the 11th century and is the oldest fortified castle in Spain. It is built right into the foothills of the Pyrenees mountains and was the setting of the movie "Kingdom of Heaven."
