Exhilarating!

Path up the mountain

A fantastic few days.  Yesterday we went on a mountain/suspension bridge tour. It was exhilarating and terrifying all in one.  It started with a ride through palm plantations and then up the mountain in this modified atv type vehicle.  You can check it out at www.vacationbuggy.com.  After a very dusty ride up the mountain and some spectacular views we reached our destination.  Now in the picks on the web the suspension bridge did look terrifying, but nothing prepared me for actually being on the suspension bridge.  But, we did it and then had a short hike to a waterfall where you can swim at its base. Now we had to go back across the suspension bridge- even more terrifying the 2nd time!  I have to say though that our guide Don did actually make us feel safe the whole time. On the way down we had a delicious meal at a soda about half way down the mountain.  After an exhausting day we decided to eat in on our lanai and were treated to a toucan sighting and this very cool night tree frog all right on our deck.  Our deck geckos also made their nightly appearance.  Pura vida!
