Zipity Do Dah!

Today we went up into the mountains to do the canopy. The name of the company was adventure park.
First we started with a 55 minute horseback ride. I knew I was in trouble when I got the horse that decided to take the shortcut into the holding pen. I haven't been on a horse in years, good thing these are old, super calm. Not shocking enough Chelsea's horse decided it needed to be in the front the entire time.
After we climbed to the top of the canyon it was time to start the zip line. It was great. I was worried that I wouldn't remember what to do, how to stop, but the instructors were very good at reminding us what to do, and when to "brake". you brake by squeezing and pulling down on your back gloved hand.
We went on 25 zip line, zipping past 11 waterfall, and rappelling twice. I thought that the rappelling was the hardest. At one point we rappelled down to the bottom of a waterfall and stopped to swim in the pool at the bottom. Okay-it was like jumping into a creek full of snow runoff, super cold. but by then it was hot by then and felt nice.
Near the end of the zip line tour, one of the zip lines was about 400 yards- you got going pretty fast, but my favorite was one that started at the top of a waterfall and went directly over top of it.
At the end of the tour we loaded into vans and headed back to the starting point. they fed us lunch. We headed back in the car (again) and drove back to esterillos este. it took about 1 and 15 minutes one way.
We stopped on the way back at a bridge overlooking a freshwater river. When you look over the edge of the bridge, surprise surprise! Huge American Crocs (the British lady told us they were American-). What? lined up in the mud or taking a swim- we counted at least 15. One was big, maybe 10 feet long. Doesn't make you want to talk a long walk along any river that's for sure.
Went to the grocery store for more mango nectar, zippys, and coke light- does it get any better?
