One of our last days in Beautiful Mexico, we went on an excursion with Josh and Isabel. We went on a zip line, repelling, and snorkeling trip! It was really fun! It was different from the one we went on in Puerto Vallarata, but it was still really fun! Below are pics from the CD we bought. We didn't buy the pictures two years ago when we went and I wish we would have. They were really expensive but I think it would have been worth it, looking back now. But what's funny about us buying this CD, is I kinda lost it.... What happened was..... we bought it and we had a good hour and half ride back to our resort in a bus. I had gotten up super early that morning, gone running on the beach (which was kinda freaky because it was still dark), then climbed up all these stairs for the zip line and repelling, treaded water during snorkeling, all out in the hot sun. So of course, I fall asleep on the bus. I had put the CD in the pocket in front of me so I would see it when we got out, but when we got to the hotel, I was so groggy I just walked out and forgot about it!!! I was so mad because we actually bought pictures this time and I lost it! Luckily, we were able to a hold of the agency who was in charge of the excursion and they sent it to us! Thank goodness!
This is a picture of Talum from the CD
Zip Line fun!
The zip line was on top of three tall towers, I don't remember how tall it was, but it was over the trees of the jungle below. You climbed up stairs to get to the top then zipped over to the different towers. I think the farthest one was 4 football fields long! Isabel was so funny, she was a little freaked out the first time but then got the hang of it, but you could hear her screams every time!
Show off!
The guides called Matt, Muscle Matt!
Time to Repel!
The repelling was fun, I believe the tower was 7 stories high. Isabel was screaming and yelling is Spanish the first few steps and then just started laughing. It was cute!
Snorkeling!
The water was so cold in this cave! It was really pretty though! I was a little nervous about being claustrophobic but it wasn't too bad. They took us into an open space and let us explore, I just looked around a bit and then treaded water. I'm not big on being underwater inside a cave with just a snorkel. I kept thinking about some book I read as a kid where these kids got lost in a cave and died. So I kept my eye on the guide and our group the whole time! I'm such a worrier these days! It's funny the things that freak me out, I can jump on a zip line no problem, but snorkeling...Yikes! ha

We had a blast, and we are so blessed to have great friends and the ability to go to all these fun places! God is good!
