Oh My God Zip Lining and Ice Cream

Today in Monteverde was the highlight for many of the students on the trip. We woke up early to have a private tour through the OMG canopy tour. 13 different cables above the trees in the forest with one line extending 800 meters and the longest being 1000 meters (3200 ft).  It was an absolutely wonderful moment flying through the air of the cloud forest. After the 12th cable, some students who are even crazier even decided to go for the Tarzan swing which will drop you 90 meters and swing you around as if you were Tarzan. This was optional, but a few of us tried it!!! After sharing our stories with our group, we headed back into town for one more lunch prior to heading to the Monteverde Cheese Factory which was founded by the Quakers in the 1950s. We had some of the best ice cream and shakes that we´ve ever had before. After enjoying the ice cream, we headed to the oldest bakery in town Stella´s where we were given carrot cake and banana cake samples for free.
