One of the people that we met at the treehouse, is a wonderful young lady named Katrina. She hails from Alaska and was at the treehouse volunteering. We had been telling her we wanted to go zip lining and she asked if she could join us. But, of course! Then, Chris and Lily, also said they wanted to come. Also really nice folks, with a rather bittersweet story. Lily is originally from Russia, she has no family there or other ties and has been traveling the world. I think to find her place. She met Chris, a Canadian, in Thialand and they fell in love. Unfortunately, as immigration laws are these days, Lily can't enter Cananda, even though they are planning to get married. So as of right now, they travel together for 6 months, then Chris goes home to work and Lily keeps traveling. Great way to see the world but rather tiring after awhile. Hopefully, they can get things worked out soon.
Off the 6 of us went to fly between trees! Woohoo! We got all harnessed up, with helmets and gloves. Our 3 wonderful guided gave us the run through and we found ourselves on the first platform. A little disconcerting but so much fun to be sliding down a wire, high up in the trees. Rita got a little nervous on the second run, so one of the guides stayed with her for the rest of the runs, they were so sweet and nicknamed her "super momma". If you wanted to you could go upside down, not my favorite but everyone else liked it. You could also do "superman" with one of the guides along to stop you at the end. That was a blast.
