	Piedra River Rafting Trip -Colorado Whitewater River Rafting Adventures!
		We run three trips on the Piedra River: the Upper Box (an intermediate adventure), the Lower Box (an advanced adventure) and the Two Day which runs the Upper Box on the first day and the Lower Box on the second day after a night of catered camping in a beautiful alpine wilderness.
		The 2-Day trip on the Piedra River is particularly magical as we put in on a creek (Upper Box) with barely enough water to float and then bump and grind our way through technical rapids as we watch creek after creek cascading into the river.
		Experience family fun in the desert canyon playground on the Dolores River, be dazzled the narrow twisting waterway and towering red-rock walls of the San Miguel River or blaze class III, IV and V rapids on the Animas and Piedra Rivers in our Colorado whitewater rafting trips.

	Paulo Coelho - 'By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept'
		“By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept” is another novel by Coelho that proves that love is not an obstacle to materializing one’s dreams, but a force urging the lovers to conquer their dreams and thus find God.
		Just like fear of failure prevented some people from achieving greatness in “The Alchemist”, fear of rejection prevented the lovers from expressing their love in “By the river Piedra” The expulsion of this fear is vividly symbolized with the deliberate breaking of a glass at a restaurant.
		It is a characteristic sample of Coelho’s writing, and some questions are raised by the paradox of Coelho urging people not to use formulae in their lives and yet he once again uses the formula that gave him his best-selling status.
