Another exciting day in Costa Rica! We started with a post-mass concert at Iglesia de la Fortuna. Fortuna is a town about ten minutes from our resort. The people were very appreciative and kind. The kids sang beautifully, and the audience especially responded to "My Spirit Sang All Day," "Peace Like a River," and "Cana Dulce." Many people came up to us after the concert and expressed their gratitude for the concert. Our next activity was the much anticipated zip lining. WOW!!! What an exhilarating experience! We "flew" on a series of 8 lines near the Arenal volcano. We went whizzing over the canyons of the rain forest with views of Arenal lake and the surrounding mountains and valleys. The longest line was 650 meters and with speeds up to 50 miles per hour. What a rush!! We had a great dinner at a local restaurant and then spent another lovely evening swimming at our resort. Can't wait till tomorrow.
