Misadventures in My Own Island of Gringa-ness

Zip-lining

GUATEMALA | Sunday, 2 June 2013 | Views [271]

And then, dun dun dun, we went zip-lining. I was a bit hesitant about doing it this morning, but when I found out that it was about $30 US dollars, I had to do it. And I am so glad that I did. At some points on the cables, we were about 20 meters ABOVE the tops of the trees. We could see the waterfall to one side, and then the lake on the other side. So gorgeous...

Zip-lining obviously requires wearing a harness. As the guides were strapping us in, the guy asked for permission to tighten the harness around my chest. I was pretty nervous with thinking about doing zip-lining at this point, and I didn't realize what he was asking. I did this “Huh? Como?” and made him repeat that he had to touch my chest in order to tighten the harness.

That's my specialty, making things awkward not only for myself, but I tend to spread the joy around to everyone I talk to as well.
