Hiking down the mountain...Not my thing!

First repel

Only 12 meters

Almost there (I'm the one at the top)

5 meters...No big deal!

40 meters...What was I thinking!!!

Not exactly the smoothest wall I've ever seen...

Not even halfway!

YAY! WE SURVIVED!!! (Me, Elle, Michelle, Jade, Kylie - The Americans and the Irish)

Hot springs

Too many people, but that's what we get for going on a holiday

San Manuel Parque

Plaza Independencia

Very pretty bank

Water Fountain in San Manuel Parque

River and club in San Manuel Parque

I hope you enjoy all of these pictures! I tried to include as much as I could. 

Quick funny story: When we got to the top of the 40 meter repel, we asked our guide if anyone has ever gotten so scared that they didn't want to do it and then asked him what happens when that happens. He laughed a little and said "Yes, that is when I get out my little tool." then pointed to a little saw that was tied to his belt :) Then we laughed because obviously he was joking and then said, "Seriously." He told us that he just smacks them across the face and usually after about the 8th or 9th time the person will say, "Okay, I'll go!" Jaja he was very funny the whole entire time!
