Caching near to home (for a change)

Getting locked out of work is not really the best start to ones day, but today it did afford me the extra few minutes to be able to wander away from the office to visit the caches near the office.

I could just hang in the lobby, forlorn until everyone else shows up....

Adventures in Mexico: Ziplines

So if you're out in the desert scrub in Mexico, exploring the canyons of Costa Azul, what do you do for fun. After all just sitting at the beach and drinking in the Palapa bar is not all there is to do. Well one thing to do for sure is to head out to the Zipline adventures of Canopy Costa Azul. 

 They suit you up fully professionally with the needed safety equipment; harness, helmet, zipline pully.

 Midway through the ziplining we pause to go rappelling, and the kids who might be tool light to rappel get to use the "tarrzan slide" to do a little bit of upside down zipping.

 The entire tour takes just short of 3 hours. In that time you get to make about 6 crossings over the canyon and the one rappelling descent. You also get a taste of the Tequila that they distill on the grounds. In all for the $96/67 (adult/child) fee it is a fair amount of fun. Would gladly do it again.

The whole family is ready to go.
