Hang Gliding

If you enjoy watching people do stupid things (and who doesn't), here's a video of my attempt at hang gliding in Queenstown, New Zealand. Before Chris and I decided to try this, I would have considered myself a coordinated, calm human being that can follow simple directions. This does not appear to be the case. I can't decide if I'm elated or embarrassed that this was all caught on tape, so until then, here are a few things to ponder:

1. I immediately forgot what to do with my feet. Thanks for taking charge, Mr. Instructor Man.

2. Grabbing the steering bar is an apparent no-no, so of course, it's the first thing I go for.

3. We landed in a field full of sheep poop. Lots and lots of sheep poop.

CANNOT believe you did this!! Sam watched with me and was worried the whole time you might die! Happy you survived this and the outback:) Can't wait to hear from you again when you get back to Chicago.
