Flying in Costa Rica!





Today
we trade in
our
bike
helmets....





and
sign away
our
lives....







for
a
chance
to
fly...





like a bird!






Did
you know
I'm
afraid
of
heights?






They
strap
this
crazy gear
on
us....








Hooks...







Helmets....









Susan's
ready
to
go






Janet's
not
so
sure....






It's
Pete's
birthday...







Let's
do
it!






Wait!

We
need
training....





This
cable
is
your
life...















This
handle
your
hero...







Treat
them
with
respect...





as
we
fly...



into
the
jungle!











Are
we
ready?









Are
we
ready!?









We are ready!!!








KT
is
our
brave
one...








She
goes
first...






Who
wants to
go
next?








Helen?








Susan!







But
where
is
Tom?







He
is
busy...








While 
we
fly...






He
photos
fliers.





We
flit
from
station
to
station....






each
flight
higher...






scarier...



and
faster!





Our
local
guides
take care
of
us...









strapping
us
in...








ready
to
go?








sending
us
off....









Good-bye!






and
waiting...






to
catch
us...








when
we
land!






An
hour
of
flying...







higher
and
higher...








and
at
last
we are
ready...







to
be
Superman!








Put
on
more
gear...










Quite
the
fashion
statement!



from The Daily Mail



















and
we're
champing
at the
bit....






to
try
this
final
flying
challenge!







Strap
us
in...






Hoist
us
up...






and
send
us
flying...











through
the
wild
jungles...


of
Costa
Rica!








We
did
it!






We're
so
brave!








And
so
is
Tom...






in
the
wilds...


of
Costa
Rica!
