Paragliding

On Saturday, May 3rd I went paragliding for the very first time!  I was so excited and nervous! This was my first time being airborne, not in an airplane.  The professional I was strapped to was named Daniel.  I asked him how many times he had done this, (hoping for an answer of thousands or for years) he said ten or eleven.  Since I was already strapped to him there wasn't much I could do.  We were on the side of a mountain at about 10,000 feet and their directions were to keep running...off the side of the mountain.  Me being the good listener that I am, followed their directions.  Absolutely nutty, but fantastic.  By the second half Daniel was doing tricks and my stomach was starting to feel a little iffy.  We landed and I felt so shaky.  It was amazing.  Next on my to-do list is sky diving!
