Today we did a crazy amount of driving through the mountains… It’s nuts that you can have something that’s twenty kilometers as the crow flies, but thanks to winding gravel roads climbing to ear-popping heights, it takes three hours to get the distance. This drive took us to a national park in an amazing rain forest where we did a “canopy tour”, shooting over the forest on zip lines. The longest was a full kilometer, and the next shortest was 750 m, and the total of all fifteen must have been around 4 km in all. Nefarious had a great time doing it, shouting that she wanted to go again after we completed the set. A very brave six year old! After the zip lines we went for another hike through the rain forest, crossing eight huge suspension bridges spread out over 3 km. After that, another ridiculous twisty drive, and we’ve ended up in Arenal where Costa Rica’s most active volcano is — still spewing lava, exploding, and blowing ash on a daily basis.
Not sure what tomorrow holds… perhaps white water rafting.

I did those same zip lines when I was in Costa Rica last summer! It’s an amazing little county, with so much nature to enjoy!
following you and enjoying your accounting
living in Okinawa was similar to that. even though the island was only about 7.5 miles from top to bottom as I was told, it took hours driving from one spot to another due to the winding roads
