From North to South: Parapente!

From North to South

Amy's ramblings. Once upon a time these ramblings pertained to my 5 months in Guatemala and Honduras. Then they followed the ebb and flow of my final semester in Alaska. From there things really went south ... to Argentina, Bolivia and Chile. After 8 months in the Andes, I fell back under Alaska's spell … working at a newspaper and wandering mountains. Now I'm somewhat south again ... in Jackson Hole, WY, teaching ski school on the clock and making fresh tracks off the clock.

Parapente!

The best part of being in a country with a third the regulations at a third the cost is the possibilities for living on the edge-- or off the edge as the case may be! Joshua and I decided that our trip wouldn't be complete without an afternoon of paragliding... and how right we were! It was such an incredible, thrilling, freeing experience that I'm now contemplating the idea of learning how to do it myself... one to three months for five hundred dollars, not bad at all!
