Interlaken...From Above

While I am anxiously awaiting the CD of all of our pictures from Europe so that I might share them with all of you, {they are currently being compiled by A} I figured I would post the only photos I have. While we were in Interlaken, Switzerland we decided to get our adventure on a do a little paragliding. It was so amazing. And Switzerland is breathtakingly beautiful. And I got the cute guide...much to the dismay of all the single ladies.

There was a point while flying that I remembered that I have a little problem with motion sickness. I remembered this because I suddenly had an overwhelming need to {how do you put it daintily?} vomit. I realized that this could possibly result in the most mortifying moment of my life because it would mean one of three things: 1- I throw up all over my cute guides legs, 2- It is windy enough that it all comes right back into my face or 3- it falls to the earth below and lands...where? On someone's head? On someone's windshield? I dont even want to think about it. It got a little closer than I would like when my guide asked me, "You like roller coasters? Yes? We go on a roller coaster ride." Then proceeded to release the parachute somehow and we begin to plummet to the earth doing a corkscrew. While very very fun, it was almost too much. Lucky for me I have years of practice at calming my sad little motion sick self and I was able to land without any unspeakably embarrassing moments.

With the stint of sickness aside, this was one of the high points of the trip. It was absolutely incredible, and definitely a once in a life time experience for me!
