Day 10.1

La Condesa Hotel, Costa Rica--Today we bid farewell to the lovely spa resort and began our morning with zip lining through Volcano Arenal's mountainside… volcano side? Mountainside. Yes. It was a lot of fun, with the longest zip line taking about 40 seconds to cross. ¡Ay de mi! And we were up much higher than our previous zip lining experience in Tennessee. 

In the middle of our 13 zip lines, we had the option of participating in a brief Tarzan adventure. The Tarzan adventure was essentially swinging from a cord like Tarzan would a vine. This was terrifying for one main reason: In order to start swinging, we had to fall from a platform at least a million feet off the ground. That moment of letting yourself fall was terrifying and disorienting because part of you was like, "Help! I'm falling!" and the other part was, "That's the point, idiot!" Still, it was enjoyable, although I might not repeat the experience. Poor Mimmy was so taken aback by the initial drop that she let out a guttural scream that I have never heard before. 


After driving for a few hours, we arrived at a ridiculously lavish hotel, La Condesa Hotel. Tonight will be our last night in Costa Rica, and we will leave sometime tomorrow! The last blog post for our trip will be sometime tomorrow. A demain! 

I am acting out what my idea of a tufted titmouse is.
