I can fly! I can fly!

This isn't exactly Bolivia oriented, but it was still WAY COOL! A friend of mine is a flight instructor here in West Palm Beach and he invited my roommate and me to go up with him. Of course we accepted! So this evening we met Jason at the airport, toured the training facilities, and walked out to the "parking lot" where Jason proceeded to push a 4-seater out of its spot and into the "driveway." We climbed in and took off!! We had to wear headsets to be able to hear each other, and we could hear all of the control tower talk too. We flew out over our house and then over our church! As we were coming back around….I GOT TO FLY!!! This probably would have blown my mind no matter what, but the fact that, for many years, I have toyed with getting my pilot's license so that I could fly but decided it was too expensive to ever really hope for really pushed this experience into the "indescribably wow" category. When I surrendered control, Jason flew us out over the beach, pointed out the Everglades, and then took us in for the smoothest landing I have ever experienced (and I've been on a lot of flights!). Yeah, so, today was awesome!
