day 7

21.06.09

This was our last full day together in CR...

We got on a bus to go on our final day of excursions; one of the tiny busetas that we had ridden around in all week. We were on our way and knew it was going to be a long time before we reached our destination. We were all chatting in the bus and having a good time and next thing you know there's a big bang... I turn and look and see the window next to me is completely shattered. The driver pulls over... turns out when we passed a tractor cutting the grass on side of the road, a rock got chucked and hit the window. What a story to add to the trip. So, we sit at this little restaurant on side of the road for over an hour waiting for another buseta to pick us up.

[After the rock incident, we then had to pass over this bridge... comforting, huh? And the water didn't look like something that we should swim in...]

We finally made it to the place we were heading and chose to zipline, horseback ride, and ride in the sky tram. Ziplining was so much fun but so scary to start out.... being hung by a harness to this cable hundreds of feet over the forest and having someone push you off a platform to go flying through the air. :)

[View from the sky tram... :) ]

[View while riding horses. This is what we flew over/through while ziplining...]

What a day... After getting home some of us went back to El Centro for a last night of hanging out in the city. I was soooo ready to head home the next day. Spent the night packing and repacking... it was hard to fit all my stuff in my suitcase. Home tomorrow!
