As promised, here is a recap of our Saturday adventure. Our hosts took us to an Ecological Park, Mbatovi. What we thought would be a leisurely walk in the park turned out to be an action-packed, adrenalined-rush trek through the forest. See for yourself, www.mbatovi.com.py

After being fitted by Alpine-Certified Climbing Gear, complete with an harness, carabiner, rope and helmets, we hiked over 1km. There were 3 rope bridges, a zipline and rapelling involved. All the team members encouraged each other and were able to traverse all the obstacles. Words cannot describe the experiences, so here are some photographs.

"What a great adventure our day off was. I conquered two personal fears: Zipline and Repelling. I would have never been able to do it if it was not for everyone's encouragement and support. What a Great Team!" Glenna Palladino, LC, Middletown, CT
