I would say Switzerland and Greece are the two prettiest parts of Europe that I have been to.

No need to hate a brotha for flyin'!

I'm so stoked you guys got to fly Interlocken, that is one of the most beautiful places to fly in the world. Jealous. Yeah man, I'll have my tandem rating next year, so I can take fools up!

Once you've tasted the air, you're never the same, unless you are Kelly Blake, and it's no big deal. Lemme restate... if you've ever wanted to be a bird, and you paraglide, you better start saving money for lessons and a wing.

i've always wanted to go hang gliding (also learn how to operate an actual glider). is that what you do, loren--hang gliding?

yeah, what he said. Hang gliding is so much more of a pain in the ass. You have this giant glider that only gets as small as a 1 foot diameter tube that is 15 feet long. You have to store that thing somewhere and have a car to carry it. Then you have to lug it to launch. Then you have to spend at LEAST 15 minutes assembling it, but usually more like 30 from what I've seen. then you have to break it down afterwards. PITA.

My paraglider fits in a backpack. It's literally a flying wing in a backpack. Nuts. I can be ready to fly in less than 5 minutes, and that's moving slowly.

Not that I'm trying to talk anyone out of hangliding, cause both are fucking fantastic. Just sayin, PG is easier to learn, cheaper, lighter, and more accessible. You don't get the same superman feeling, it's more like floating in a dream, but either way you're a bird. Do it Do it!

oh, i never knew that! do you have as much control with a paraglider as you do with a hang glider? can you do it in many places?

gorgeous. I just had a Swiss Thanksgiving on the West Coast, oddly enough. That is to say, two Swiss guys cooked the dinner. It was the most delicious traditional American Thanksgiving dinner I've ever had. Right on with what you said about efficiency.
