Costa Rica Part 5-Monteverde

Getting all geared up.

We went on an excursion to Monteverde during our stay in Costa Rica. It was about a 2 1/2 hour drive from the condo----which was an adventure. Part of the road to get there is completely rocky and rough and all dirt. Monteverde is well-known because of its rain forests and cloud forests. There are all kinds of nature and wildlife hikes and ziplines throughout the area. We decided to do a zipline tour. It was something we had never done before so I was excited and a bit nervous. I'm not a big fan of heights (memories of Kurt making me bungee jump early in our marriage).

Helmets are not super flattering.
Dave, Shelley, Laura, Alan
The whole gang minus Jenny who couldn't do the zipline with baby Zeke.
Taking the Sky Tram to the top.
Fun times!

Coming in fast!

There were 9 different ziplines in all during the tour. We definitely got in our fill. The boys starting getting really creative in the end----going backwards and upside down and taking pictures while zipping along.
