A paragliding = EPIC FAIL!

i live life on the edge…then jump off of it. the 5th Annual Easter Paragliding Festival in Kwahu, Eastern Region. it was my first time doing this...i think the heat in ghana has made me delirious. the best part of this post is seeing andrea falling while running down the hill. her pilot, a large frenchman, actually fell on top of her and broke her camera. her second attempt was aborted due to the parachute being on wrong. however, her third attempt was successful (besides the fact that she lost a shoe). had he been my pilot i would've said "you clearly have no idea what you're doing. thank you and good day, sir." but she made it! it was a an amazing weekend! oh, and we did make it to church on sunday :) amen. hallelujah.


random guys that wanted to take a picture w/ us. they were taking shots...it was 7am.
p.s. my Sorority sister, Brittany, is in ghana volunteering w/ VEG's microfinance program!

dan, andrea, alison, me, marcus
