Zip Line

Hello Everyone,
Rose sailing into the last stop

Grandma ziplining down to the next platform.

Grandma did the Tarzan Swing and here she is at the very top of the arc

Yeah!  We made it intact!

Yesterday we went ziplining in the canopy outside of la Fortuna, closer to the Arenal Volcano.  There were about 15 lines that we went on and a Tarzan Swing close to the end.  Everyone did the swing and even Grandma (and mom) did the Tarzan Swing.  Mom injured a tree on the way into one of the platforms, but we are pretty sure that the tree will recover.  Braking is more difficult that it looks.  In the afternoon we went to the local river for a swim, but it started raining and we had to walk back about 30 minutes in the rain.  At about 4 we went to Baldi Hot Springs, which is heated by the Volcano, for a buffet and a soak in their many hot pools of all different temperatures.  There were waterfalls and it was a great night.  We stayed until about 8:30pm.  Rose said it was fun and make sure to do the Tarzan Swing.
Mom, Grandma & Mom

  3. Yep, the cloud forest is next. But we've got plenty here--we didn't get to see the Volcano either--we think it's a sham!!!!

  5. You girls look like you are having a grande time. Did that volcano mud make you look 10 years younger? I've heard it is magic. You may want to bring some home for the rest of us. Have fun!
