Parapente

Hola Lima!!!

I woke up with an excited heart, i am going to fly over the edge of the city , i am soo scared and in the same time, i cannot wait to be already up the sky.

yesterday they have told me that , they open at 10:30, it's 10:55 and am already there, and you know what no wind, it's a quiet morning, disappointment is all over my face, i have been told to come back at 3pm!

i calm down, enjoy the park, walk around visited two museums, had lunch, and rushed back to the site, and i see them flying, i started overthinking may be too much wind, may be i ate too much i will feel bad, may be i don;t need to go for parapente, skydiving 8 years ago is enough for a lifetime.

but there is always a challenging voice in my head, i cannot help it, i need to go over my fears, specially the flying one.
registration done, i am the only one on the waiting line, i have been assigned my pilot, today it's gonna be Marco!! mucho encantada senor!!!

i got prepared, always security first, a guy explaining to me that i have to keep standing until the signal to seat, but he is speaking in spanish, NO ENTIENTO, Ingles Por favor, and i am lucky he does speak english well, at that moment the wind get a bit stronger, and i see someone missing the landing spot and going for another round , we waited for few minutes for the wind to calm down, and it's the time to run few feet and seat, the monent we leave the mountain cliff i felt we were going down to the ocean, obviously it was just a feeling, we started going up and up tuning around and taking more altitude, we have been flying aver the place i walked in the morning, and even if the place is clean and green, the view from the top is just magiacal, seeing the faro is awesome.

When i thought we would be landing actually we went to the other side of the city, over Larcomar the mall of the area, almost touching the highest bulding, or having the feeling to land on the roof.
after a nice turn, i felt tired, the stress, the all day waling under the sun, i felt overwelmed, it was fun but i had enough for today, i asked if we can land. you can imagine that my pilot was having fun since the conditions of flying were just perfect!!!

landing is quite scarier than the taking off, same principle as an airplane , you have got to visualize the landing line or point, commisario said ok for landing, let's go for it, may be one day i will take a training to fly a parapente by myself, because to be honest despite all the fear i loved it, if any other chance i will go for it inchallah!!!
