Rachel of the above



Sorry I haven't blogged in a few days! In case you don't read the LA Times...I got a Mac Book! It's BEYOND fantastic, and it goes great with my skin tone.

So as promised...I will now show you how I tackled and conquered my biggest fear on the cruise! (no I am not talking the midnight buffet, sillies!) I am talking about flying through the rainforest like a monkey on a string (is that a song title? if not, it should be.). Looking at the pics, I don't look nearly as terrified as I thought I was. But hey, I am an actress...you point a camera at me, I'm gonna smile, even if I'm dangling 100 feet in mid-air.

Seriously, though, The Canopy Adventure was one of the best experiences of my life. The scenery...beautiful (at least what I saw when I had my eyes open). My dear friend, Ian, was there to deal with my tears, and there were a lot. But when it was all said and done...PRETTY FREAKIN' COOL. If I continue to do soemthing every day that scares me.....who knows where I will be a year from now! (possibly an insane asylum, but I promise I'll continue to blog from there.)

hey Rachel, I did this too in Costa Rica. It was awesome!!! I was so scared at first, but then I got used to it. I even accidently punched the guy in the face as he was trying to get me down.
Here's a video of me coming in:
