Zip Lining over the Canopy and Chocolate!

We decided to go Zip lining over the Canopy of the Cloud Forest in Mindo.  We first had to get suited up.  Again, we did not have to sign any waivers.

Cassi and Hayes went first.

It was a gorgeous ride over the canopy.  This tour had 12 lines that we got to zip over.  It took about an hour to complete all 12 of them.

One of the things they do is guide us over in a Superman position or a Mariposa position. The Superman position, I think you know what it looks like.

However, the Mariposa has you upside down, legs spread and arms hanging down.  Cassi was glad she put on her long pants and wasn't wearing her short shorts!

Hayes did the Superman as well, but, loved the Mariposa.

The kids talked me into doing the Mariposa as well - I preferred right side up.

Afterward, we decided that we deserved chocolate.  So, we went to El Quetzel, which is  a restaurant that grows and makes it's own chocolate.  We got to see how it is grown and processed. It was interesting.....

.....but, we preferred to just eat it.

We will be back tomorrow!
