Paragliding, Day 1

I had my first day of paragliding lessons today. I didn't run off a mountain today, just watched others, and we practiced on the ground. I'll get to go off a mountain next weekend though. It'll take 8 days of training to get my licence. Should be a lot of fun. Today was tonnes of fun, and we didn't even go off the mountain. There are 5 of us foreigners who started the training today, so it's a fun group. The instructor doesn't speak a whole lot of English (which makes it interesting) but one of our good foreign friends here does it a lot, and really knows what he's doing. He was a big help in translating today..
