Adventure Girl

Here are some more pictures from our weekend in Mindo.


Rebecca on the first of 10 ziplines.

Paul on the last of 10 ziplines.

Maya and Rebecca getting ready for their joint ride. Notice that they´re wearing helmets, to protect their head should the line snap and they plummet the 300 plus feet to the bottom of the rainforest floor.



Here´s the video of Rebecca and Maya on the return from their zipline ride. They don´t call this a cloud forest for nothing. You couldn´t see them through the clouds until they were right there.



A post zipline juice at the local juice bar. We loved the swings and the yummy tropical juices. The best was Maya´s pineapple milkshake.

Here´s the ¨cable car¨ that we took across the jungle valley to the waterfalls.
You can´t really see the depth of the plunge down because it´s all green, but it was pretty far down.

WOW well if the line did break then you could grab onto a tree branch and just hang until someone finds you.

That looks like a blast! And Maya is about the coolest girl ever. I think she might grow up to be a superhero. Tell her that weird lady she visited last summer who liked to read to her thinks she is as cool as it gets. She really is. Maya Rules!

I can't believe Maya did that! Well, who am I kidding, she is her mother's daughter!
