It. was. amazing.<\/p>\n<p>We left that morning, and stopped for lunch.  On the way, we scheduled a zipline tour in downtown.  I&#8217;ve been ziplining once, and even though I&#8217;m deathly afraid of heights, I love ziplines.<\/p>\n<p>It was just the two of us, with 2 guides.  Very cool!  Another guy followed us the whole time and took pictures.<\/p>\n<a href=\"\" title=\"\" rel=\"\" class=\"flickr-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm.static.flickr.com\/\/_.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"\" title=\"\" longdesc=\"\" \/><\/a>\n<p>On your mark&#8230;<\/p>\n<a href=\"\" title=\"\" rel=\"\" class=\"flickr-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm.static.flickr.com\/\/_.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"\" title=\"\" longdesc=\"\" \/><\/a>\n<p>Go!

Well, there were 3 suspension bridges that we had to cross.  The first one wasn&#8217;t too bad, but my fear definitely kicked in.  The 2nd one?  I froze in the middle, but Randy and the guide talked me through it and I made it over.
