Stay-cation Part Deux

Who needs expensive trips and exotic locales when you have a French bakery and zipline tours in your backyard?  Ok, not directly behind my house but just a quick jaunt up the road in Rock Hill, SC.  True, the Canaan Zipline Canopy Tour was no Edinburgh Castle adventure but it was still pretty awesome!  Nine ziplines?  Six over the river?  Yes, please!

 

I solemnly swear that I zipped across the line in the background!

The couple that ziplines together has helmet-head and chafed thighs together...

And who knew that Rock Hill had such a thriving downtown area?  Complete with its own French bakery even?  Certainly not me!  Although our zipline guides were heartless enough to start talking about food within the first 30 minutes of the 3+ hour tour, we have them to thank for directing us to the yummy Amelie's French Bakery.  Crusty French bread + food names that I can't pronounce + espresso + sinful desserts served by an actual French 'chef pâtissier' minus the infamous French attitude toward English speakers = heaven! :) 

No more caffeine for Mark!
