excitement!
Right before we took off paragliding.After working a friday night ball I earned a few extra hours of work and was able to take a 4 day weekend last weekend. Feb 16th to the 19th I was in Interlaken Switzerland. We took the train friday morning and arrived 7 hours later into Interlaken. It was so beautiful there. The first night we checked into our hostel and made plans to paraglide the following day. Saturday we crused around and picked up some things from the little shops in the city. We caught the paragliding van and it drove about a half an hour striaght up the mountain. We were so high up. The view of the Swiss Alps was breathtaking. My friend Heather took off first, the me, then Sarah jo. My instructor strapped me into the harness and told me to start running. I didn't have enough time to think about what I was doing and the next thing I knew I was flying through the air. He did some tricks to make the ride more exciting. My stomach was in knotts the whole time but I was giddy with excitement. I still can't believe I went paragliding. It was the coolest thing ever. After

Walking to our hostel. we fell from our adrenaline high we walked to one of the lakes near by. It reminded me alot of tahoe, a beautiful lake surrounded with snow covered mountains. On Sunday we took a train further up into the mountains and walked around all day. We saw a huge waterfall along with some farm animals. I fell in love with one of the local cows. It was very photogenic. The whole day we looked at one another and said holly crap we're in Switzerland!! We left monday morning to head home to Germany.
