Staci's Zip lining adventure

Yesterday was a very adrenaline filled day. We got though the rough roads to get to our cabins in Monteverde the night before. And Yesterday we went on a hike in the rainforest. This was a very interesting experience for me. I am terrified of heights and we were going across a very, very high bridge. Not only was the height terrifying, but then some of the guys were bouncing up and down on it,making the feeling worse.as I ied to go further, my asthma started to act up and possibly a little bit of anxiety. I started having a very hard time breathing, so I went back to wait for the rest of the group. Next, we were going zip lining. About three quarters of us went zip lining, the other part went on a coffee tour. I was so scared to go zip lining, especially when they started suiting me up in the harness. We went through the instructions, then they sent us on our way. The first part was not really scary at all. It had six lines connecting to each other by the platforms. Once I got through all six of the small ones, I thought we were done, but nope. Haha. We then started the really long ones, which I was very scared to go on. These all led to platforms but the lines were way longer than the others. After the regular zip lining, the lines led to a line called the superman. The superman is when you are on a line, laying down like superman. Then they push you down the line and you're looking over the tops of the trees. Then at the end of that line we are asked if we want to do the Tarzan Swin, another line. I, not really thinking about it, say I will. I wait for every one else to got on the 120 foot drop Swin, then hear my name being chanted. I get across the bridge and get hooked up. At first the hides couldn't get the gate open, and I said maybe that's a sign that I shouldn't go down.the guide looked at me, smiled, told metro bend my knees, and then I was dropping the 120 feet leading into the swing. It was the wort feeling I have every felt in my life. Sure it gave me a huge adrenaline rush, but I was horrified. When I reached the ground, I couldn't really talk because I was afraid of puking. The guide asked me why I was shaking so much, and I told him that I was scared of heights. Then he looked at me, laughed, and asked why I was doing this. I couldn't answer. We then headed back, went to dinner, and fell asleep. All in all, it was a great and scary day.
