Tuesday, June 8th

It's been a couple weeks. Not on purpose - really, I've been busy. Since my last post I've gone through ½ a semester of biology & a full semester of Spanish. I should be working on a presentation on the Páramo right now, but I think it can wait a couple minutes (45 minutes - its interesting, but that's a lot for something I just heard of for the first time 3 weeks ago...).

The picture above is from May 30th (there is a short video of my landing at the bottom of this page). We went para-gliding (parapente) at Tierra Negra. Of course every flight was a little different, but at least for mine, from jumping off until touching ground again was just under 45 minutes. I think we were 900 meters above the river below, roughly ¾ of a mile? - I'm not sure exactly.
 There are quite a few parks, squares & plazas in town that I'm hoping to get to in the next couple weeks - I will only have biology until the 20-something of June, so there should be a little free time to explore. I plan to post a little more often here, too. Hopefully twice a week, but realistically, maybe weekly...

Anyway, back to that presentation.
