Welcome to Steemit, fellow nomad. :-) I too almost drowned in the jungle, but when I was a teenager. In fact here is the photo that was taken of me after narrowly escaping an underwater death! It was the summer of 1993.
As you can plainly see, I was none too pleased. Because as I was struggling people thought I was playing and goofing around and waved and laughed. Oh sure this was scary at the time and I was mad after at my friends, but I look back and think to myself "Good times".
Anyway, welcome to Steemit! :-)
Thank you! This is such a great welcome comment. Haha no, you don't look happy at all. I'm so glad you made it out okay! Good story.
