Joo Young, John, Alexander, Max, Young Woo and myself after our shower. A crowd of Slovenian students watched us go under the falls. A little background on why we jumped into the falls: I told the students that a friend of mine, Dave Kushner, started a tradition at the Rinka falls in Logarska with our first Slovenian School trip from Cleveland. He and I jumped into the falls in our swimming shorts. The water is glacier melt. I have never felt such cold water in my life. The first time I did it, it took my breath away. He and I were joined by a larger group the second time we went back to Slovenia with the Slovenian School from St. Mary's church in Cleveland. I did it the first year I took my students from QSI Almaty International School. Unfortunately, I could not continue the tradition on the second trip. There was a devastating avalanche that has reshaped the end of the valley. We could not get near falls since its base was hidden by tons of snow.
