Zippin' Along

Day 3: While in Tikal, Dallin and I (my parents decided to sit this one out) decided to zip line through the jungle. I was terrified when we were climbing up the first tower to get all harnessed up. In fact, I was pretty much terrified the entire time... up until the very end. But it was really neat to go through the jungle this way. We were so high up that we got to see a bunch of howler monkeys up close and I think we would both do it again in a heart beat. Afterwards, we just relaxed and walked around our lodges to look at all of the cool birds, animals, and flowers until it was time to fly back to Guatemala City and head towards Antigua.




Here, Dallin is showing off and hanging on the zip line upside down!


I have NO idea what animal this is. All I know is that there were about 30 of them walking right behind our cabin.

Me and my mom just hanging out until check out time.
