Costa Rica Day 8

This is Travis True and Ryan Dome. So today we went zip lining as a group it was EPIC! At first we had to hike about 15 minutes up hill but from there we never walked again.

The guides were awesome they would  sometimes mess with us and jerk the wire up and down so it bounces us. The first time they did it Julie screamed like she had seen a ghost. We also tried to do tricks on the zip lines - Peter even went upside down on one. The last zip line was almost 400 yards long.  We flew down that one but the view some some spots was incredible.  On the last line, a howler monkey was right above us, wanting to communicate!  Some of us were fortunate to see toucans in the trees next to us.

The horseback riding was a nice change of pace from the zip-lining we had done earlier in the day. It took a while for everyone to get their horse, but once everyone was situated we were on our way up some steep hills to see a spectacular view of the surrounding area. After a long day of activities most were nervous about giving their presentations on the research they had been doing, but they all turned out great and everyone is happy that they are over because the researching took a lot of work.
