Living La Vida Loca!


OK, folks-- this is what I've been waiting for!! Geriatric Ziplining in action!! Yes, Zoey & Reece, it really is Mimi!
It was so fun!-- just like everyone had told me it was. I was only 'anxious' (what an understatement!) on the first line-- I got stalled before I got to the next platform because I was squeezing the pulley rope so tightly! But after my flock of butterflies throughout my whole system went away, I could enjoy it. And I could actually LOOK AROUND by the 8th & last line! That one was almost 2300 feet across & lasted a very long minute! I went by myself, but made 2 new friends immediately-- 2 sisters, one from Michigan & one from Connecticut, Michele & Cheryl. Trauma seems to bond people! Had 2 very capable & young guides who seemed to delight in making us jump up & down on the line as we were going across! Truly worth the ride! I think I look more like the Wichita lineman, myself! Jim was back at the base, reading his book & praying!
All of these pix are at the park Turu Ba Ri & were in the forest as I was zipping:

Kathy, I can't believe you did that. I'm having a panic attack just looking at the pictures.
