Costa Rica - June 24th

Just when you think it can't get any better, it does. The mother of all canopy advenure tours on the Rio El Padre. 25 zips and 2 rappels over 11 waterfalls. Top speed 55 mph. Longest ride 2200 ft.

Joani's first rappel. It's becoming clear she can no longer claim a fear of heights. Not buying it

Joani now zipping over two waterfalls at a single bound

Joani's second rappel

Joani's long zip.

After the "regular" zip-lining, for a mere $15 extra we all bought the "Superman" experience:

One for Bob to get ready ...

 
And two to go, flying with a drogue chute to keep the speed down

 
Three for Joani to get ready

 
And there she goes. Rolling left and then right for better views to each side

 
Joani's Superwoman landing. Lois Lane is jealous. Vertigo? We don't need no stinkin' vertigo

 The Insignia zip-lining fab five: Bob, Joani, Gwen, Sue and Kenny G.

The Costa Rican beer of choice after a hard day of zip-lining is Imperial


Next up: our Panama Canal transit. This was our last adventure excursion. Our time has gotten shorter as the days have gotten longer.
