Mexico pt 2 -- zipline and cenote swim

I need to mention the second most exciting part of our trip (the first most exciting is just that we got to GO!)...our awesome friends, Brad and Jamie, came with us!! When we went to Mexico eight years ago, we said to ourselves that if we ever came back we HAD to bring friends...so we were so excited that they decided to come too!!

We went on an excursion our first full day in Mexico. We decided on a zipline tour and cenote swim. Here's Jamie and I while we were waiting for our shuttle, partaking in a margarita at 9am...not cuz we are alcoholics, but basically, just because you can lol!

We took a shuttle ride into the jungle. Joshua snapped this picture of us all geared up right before we started zip-ing!

The four of us posing with some jungle friends...

This is one of my FAVORITE pictures of the trip. We all had the opportunity to "do it upside down" and here's Joshua having a blast at it! (And it's worth mentioning here that these ziplines are 100+ feet in the air...there was alot of excited/scared/crazy yelling going on lol!!)

Me taking things a bit more seriously...


After ziplining we hopped in these Pinhauzer trucks (read: old OLD jalopy-ish jeep thingies with questionable trailers haha)
(This is Bruno, our HILARIOUS guide, standing on the hitch between the truck and trailer as we made the ten minute drive to the cenote...no, there are no OSHA safety standards in Mexico aparently!)
(Joshua and I cracking up at Bruno on the drive)

And this was our destination, a "cenote," which is a tropical sink hole filled with fresh water with rock cliff sides. It was really beautiful, especially the waterfall you could swim under off to the right hand side. The tour company set up a zipline you could ride down and land in the water. The swim was so fun and refreshing!!

Me just as I was about to hit the water coming off the zipline...

Check out this video of Joshua showing off a pretty cool back zipping dive maneuver!!
