Para-sailing

Well, I managed to get photos uploaded to Picassia, but blogspot doesn't seem to "see" that ap. There is an edit in Picassa that says move to DropBox which blogspot does support. So I hit move button and photo disappeared, but it hasn't shown up in DropBox. So now what? Well, finally I got picture into photoeditor, resized and saved and at last I have ability to post my pictures. Whew. But that doesn't tell anything about the flight. My flight partner is named Angus and we flew off Coronet Peak outside Queenstown New Zealand. He reminded me of my nephew Craig, had same great smile and confident manner of outdoorsman. All we had to do was run off edge of cliff and the sail lifted us - it wasn't a falling sensation at all. We just sailed around, circling like a hawk, went over one ridge looking for mountain goats that live in the area, but didn't see any. We were up about 20 minutes, then when we landed I just kept my feet up and we landed on our butts. As you can see the swingseat I was sitting in was well padded. The whole experience was easy, fun and memorable for sure. Great way to end my holiday abroad.
