riding in the truck!
it was definatley a bumpy ride!! haha
Hiking to the waterfall....that rope was a lifesaver!!
smile em!!!
Here is the whole gang!!
Me doing the "superman"! it was sooo cool!!
All ten of the girls plus our awesome substitue father of sorts, Angel (pronounced On-hel), went to The Mindo Adventure Canopy yesterday. We all got to go on a course of 13 different zip lines all soaring over the amazing view of the forest/jungle below!! Heather and I both got pretty daring and did some tricks while on some of the lines. I did what´s called the Mariposa or butterfly and Heather did the Superman. To do either of the tricks you had to be connected to one of the guides--for Mariposa you hang up side-down with your arms and legs spread out and scream your lungs out as you fly down the wire!! For Superman you have to cross your legs behind the guide (kind of like an inverted indian style) and spread your arms out so you look like Clark Kent!! After the zip lines we went on a pretty steep hike to an absolutely gorgeous waterfall and soaked our feet in the icy water. As we were hiking back out from the waterfall it started to rain and continued to do so until we got to our next adventure... even though we were drenched from the rain, it was nothing compared to how wet we were from the rafting down the river!! Our rafts were made out of 6 giant innertubes tide together with two river guides steering us through the waves!! We had such a blast!! But boy are we feeling it in our muscles now! If you ever have the opportunity to go to Mindo, or anything like it, we suggest jumping in with both feet and get ready for a the time of your life!!
Em doing the "Mariposa" You should have heard her screaming haha
