(Picture of Helen and Stef above) Today was the first day of a weekend trip to an active Volcano called Arenal. We went with another work team from Pennsylvania. On the way we saw some great scenery and stopped off at a Canopy tour place (zip line). This was great fun as the zip lines got gradually longer and higher. The last apparently being the longest in the world , although lets face it, most places would probably claim that. It was 1/2 a mile long and took us about a minute to descend.
The views were amazing from high up, you could see the volcano and green mountains, as you descended into trees and what not.
Helen had a few funny episodes where she didn´t quite make the length of the line. One time she had too be rescued by the instructor which was amusing. We had lunch and continued on to our Hotel. In the evening we went to some hot springs which were so nice. Each pool had a different temperature, some too hot to stay in. We also got a glimpse of some lava down the side of the Volcano which you only really see at night time.

That is so amazing! I'm jealous too! It must be so exhilarating, almost like flying over the jungle. Maybe just a touch scary too!!!
