This is the day we went up to Chiang Mai, the second largest city in Thailand, as well as our trek meeting city.  As soon as we got there, I knew beforehand there was one thing I needed to do...

Flight of the Gibbons!

Look mom, I'm flying like a monkey!!

The hard part was convincing everyone how cool this was. This has to be the most awesome thing I've ever done, so let me explain.  They build 25 tree houses in the rainforest canopy hundreds of feet above the rainforest floor.  Extending between each treehouse are 10 km of zip lines that you zip across extremely fast like monkeys!!  Look mom, I'm flying like a monkey!! I don't have pictures, again I wasn't the picture taker (hook me up!), but it was good fun.  Way to get an adrenaline rush, and we didn't die!
