I did it!! I get to cross off another thing on my life list. That makes two things since I’ve been in Costa Rica. The first was swimming under a waterfall. And yesterday I BUNGEE JUMPED – 265 feet!
I’ve wanted to go bungee jumping since I was a freshman in high school, but never really told anyone. I am so incredibly stoked I got to experience the ultimate rush. And let me tell you, I wasn’t even scared! When I first woke up yesterday morning, I was a little nervous, and I thought my nerves were going to take over. But they didn’t! I stood up on that platform, with my ankles securely fastened, listening to my friends cheer me on, and just jumped! I felt like I was flying. I jumped with my hair down so I could feel the wind. When I bounced back the first time, my back cracked a little and it felt great. I swung back and forth before they pulled me back up, with the blood rushing to my head. It was so awesome. And it didn’t even seem I fell that far. I could go higher. New Zealand apparently has the highest bungee jump in the world. I may just have to make my way over there next.
Here is a picture of me mid-air!
Ps. I'm leaving tomorrow morning for Nicaragua for two weeks, so unfortunately I won't be able to update my blog until I get back. Just keep me in your prayers!
