OK. I'll admit it. In hindsight, trusting my life to a bunch of Honduran teenagers, and their lax approach to safety, might have not been the smartest decision I've ever made. There I was, whizzing atop the rainforest canopy at top speed, the only things between me and complete catastrophe their harness and handiwork. Come to think of it, it really was a recipe for disaster. That being said, I would do it again in a heartbeat because it was so darned fun. Call me an adrenaline junky, but there is something to be said for careening through the forest like a howler monkey, with the wind in your hair and the forest floor so far below. It's no descent into a slot canyon, but it's still a rush. And, lets be honest, it's probably still safer than your average car ride here in Honduras, which is like playing chicken with the Grim Reaper at any given moment. I'll take my chances with the zip-lines any day of the week, thank you very much.
FYI - I wont be able to post any video or pics from this outing until we get back to the states, but I will be sure to get them up as soon as I can. In the meanwhile, I'm going to continue enjoying our brief break from reality.
