Since we (well . . . most of us) were well rested, we were ready for some skydiving! Skydiving is a pretty new thing in Costa Rica, but it's catching on quick, and we were ready to join in!
We had a lesson on skydiving first. It was pretty boring, but I guess it can help avoid death.
We took off from Quepos Airport, and my stomach started churning. No one said a word, as we flew over Manuel Antonio National Park. We would be jumping tandem with experienced instructors who actually know what to do. That way, we wont die from not paying attention during the lesson.
My instructor basically had to push me out of the plane, because I just couldn't jump. Falling was TERRIFYING and I just knew I was going to die. Fortunatly, I didn't, and parachuting down felt great. We landed over a beach, and we could see people staring and pointing at us; that made me smile :-).
My parter and I were the first to land. We watched the other girls land, and they had they all were wearing the same shocked smile. As scary as this adventure was, I almost want to do it again.
