Zip Lines

Today we drove to a place that has a canopy tour by way of zip lines.  We started with two small practice zip lines so we could learn how the correct position to ride on the zip lines with.  After the first two we were standing on a platform looking out across a wide valley. I was very nervous because looking down from the platform you could see that the valley was very deep and that the zip line was incredibly high off of the ground.  It just so happened that this was the highest zip line in the system.  I flew off the platform and over the valley.  It was exhilarating and a spectacular view.  After that we continued on several more zip lines, also with incredible views.  The seventh zip line was the longest and fastest of them all (it was nicknamed “Big Daddy.”) While on the seventh zip line I saw a hawk flying over us and to my right I could see Lake Arenal. Finally we took a short line down to the ground level, and returned our gloves, helmet, and harness.  Zip lining today was absolutely splendid and I had the time of my life.
