Xplore

WHAT A BLAST WE HAD TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  We went to a place called Xplore. It was a HUGE underground cave.  Yes
I said it.  An Underground cave.  There were many options you could choose from.  We first went on a five km
Ampibhibious vehicle tour.  Oh it was so fun.  There were many places that you had to smile for the camera.
We did, and there were many  pictures taken.  You had to wear a helmet all the time.  They kept track of your
pictures with the number on your helmet.  Then you could stand in certain places, the camera would read your
helmet number and you could view your pictures.  The technology was so far over my head, I couldn't even begin
to grasp it.  The end result was that yes we paid the big bucks to purchase the USB drive.  Thnakfully we have
you guys to help us out with that.  I can't begin to do that.  We had so much fun posing for the pictures.
We then did a Zip line circuit.  They told us it would take 45 minutes for each of two circuits.  I think it
probably took 2 1/2 hours by the time we were done.  So much less stressful than the time we did it in the
Dominican.  They had brakes at the end of these.  You didn't have to control the speed yourself.  But I tell you,
the speed that you come into the landing at was so so fast, I was VERY nervous!  I didn't think that thing
was going to be able to stop.  WOW, we then did a river raft paddle, with your dad leading the way of course, my
fearless leader.  I really tried to help but of course, I did it all wrong, so I just sat back and told your
dad some jokes.  He tried very hard not to laugh.  After a while I thought maybe it was in his head to try
and make my death look like an accident.  He really was trying very hard.  For some reason he didn't appreciate
my sense of humour.  That of course made me laugh all the more.  You know how he can be when he's really trying
to be serious when there is absolutely no reason to be serious at all!  Anyway, we then did another amphibious
vehicle tour. (sure wish there was some kind of shorter way of writing that!)
The only way this would have been a better dad is if y'all were with us.  Sure miss you.  Maybe someday again.
Tomorrow we go to swim with the turtles.  I'm so looking forward to  that too.  I know this is way too long for
some of you, okay ONE of you, not to mention any names, but the initials spell CLOD!  I'll end this off for now.
Maybe we'll SKYPE with someone later!
