Zip Line Day for Jan and Doug West

Jan and Doug took an excursion up into St. Lucia's high country to experience zip-lining through the rain forest canopy. They left early in the morning, and returned to the boat mid-afternoon, tired but exhilarated.

Susan is grinning ear to ear - she's thinking, "I know what you're in for today!"
(I don't care what anybody says, my darlin' Susan looks great first thing in the morning!)



















The gondola ride up into the mountain tops is worth the price all by itself. Notice the cool helmets and hair nets they make you wear. Safety gear - you wouldn't want your hair to get tangled in the zip line - it would snatch ya bald-headed!

























No, we're not in Kansas anymore... It's a jungle out there!

























Jan says, "Does my hair look all right?" Here she is hooked up on the zipline, and raring to go!



















Doug says, "Don't tell my buddies I wore this damn hair net!"



























Look closely - you can see Doug on the zipline above the forest floor

























Doug and Jan - That is not a rock formation - it is the foot and roots of a giant tree!

























On the way back, the driver dropped Jan and Doug at Marigot Village above the bay, so they could shop, have a cold beer, and enjoy the view. Lots of people like to purchase the handmade baskets the Lucians make while you watch. Any size, and in a variety of styles.

Yes, I AM the Basket Man!

Well of course I can make you a hat like mine!
