She asked me to do the class with her, so on Sunday, we had a little private lesson at Trapeze High in Escondido. It was SO MUCH FUN. Our friend, Leon, came along as ground support and took pictures ( Read more... )

They can fly several thousand miles at speeds exceeding 60 miles per hour!

Today I went on a bike ride after class with 2 girls from the tri team. We rode out west and saw the most beautiful scenery-- puffy, cottonball-like clouds, green fields out for miles, and red barns in the distance. AND we saw SKYDIVERS!!!! We were biking past the Yolo county airport just as a group was landing. We looked above us and saw about ( Read more... )
