i wish i was a bird

so...today i did the coolest thing i have ever done in my entire life. mom and i went paragliding. she saw a brochere and called yesterday, and then we went this morning. i can only say that jumping off a cliff and having nothing to hold you but a parachute, was the best thing i have ever done. we got right next to a waterfall, and saw a rainbow and everything. it was incredible.

i will admit this now even though i couldn't admit it earlier, but i was a little nervous at the top kniwing that my instructions were to run as fast as i could down the hill, and then when it seemed like i could't run any farther, give into the sensation that i was going to fall off the cliff.

so, i'm hooked, i've been thinking about it all day, and i can't wait to figure out where else i can paraglide. next i want to try hangliding. 😉

here's some pics, don't worry we are both safe, but still grinning from ear to ear.
