Okay for all of you waiting with baited breath for what we did on Thursday here it is. I am hoping that most of Team 2 is asleep, which if you aren't you should be -- you have an early flight and why are you reading blogs? Get to bed!
We went ziplining through a Nicaraguan rainforest. Yes that is right. It was awesome fun. There were 15 stations and we ziplined from tree to tree 75 to 100 feet or more above the ground. We saw a troop of howler monkeys and had an awesome view of the country's natural resources. Even those of us afraid of heights LOVED it! It was a great experience. And for those of you wondering about Kris in a tree he was climbing a tree, in flip flops, to get that perfect picture of a monkey. There was some blood involved but Judy patched him up. He'll learn to walk again soon. Just kidding, mom.
Then we went to a little town with a beautiful view of a crater lake and a volcano to eat lunch. Very cute little town. And then onto shopping. We went to an old fort that had been transformed into an indoor market.
And then onto buying coffee -- the best around and for only $4 a pound I think we pretty much cleaned them out.
See ya all soon.

Totally cool team 1..I just left PDX, team 2 is on their way. Who ever is arranging the pickup in Managua, you are going to need a bigger bus. They are packing so much stuff we had to eat the homemade chocolate chip cookies to get some bags under the weight limit, sorry...
NOOOOOOO not the cookies. . .
So who all stayed behind for the second week? Loving the pictures and the stories. Thanks so much. KC Blais, I'm such a proud Mom....climbing a tree in your flip flops just as I taught you. :) What are you going to do without Nurse Judy there to care for you? I'm so glad you have another week.
Team 2 looks like they are having fun in the airport. Can't wait to hear more from everyone.
Love to all.
