Lose your mind and come to your senses

I paraglided twice in the last 2 weeks.  Running off the end of a mountain at full speed, like a torpedo while strapped to guy yelling "go, go, go", might not sound like a sensible thing, but believe me it is so so wonderful. 

 

Yes, I ran off the end of a mountain and then when I was airborne, I just felt like it was the most natural thing in the world to do.  The thing that was most surprising was the silence.  It was so calming and tranquil.  The landing was surprisingly soft on the beach and then we folded up the wing and headed to Juanito's for cerveza.  An awesome way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

Thanks to Les and Kurt, my paragliding friends who made it possible.
