 best ever 

Today I went paragliding in the Swiss Alps. We took a 12 minute bus drive to the top of the mountain near Interlaken. I got to choose my pilot, his name was sebastian. He was funny, he talked and was the leader so I chose him. He gave me a thing like a backpack which was heavy. First we had to untangle the strings on the parachute, my dad took off first. then when we were untangled I was harnassed to Sebastian. We ran off the cliff and then we jumped off and we were flying. It was windy and cold, but not too cold. It was so cool and fun, we circled, he even did a tornado move for me, the wing catches the tip and we went around in circles. He also did the swing thing and felt like I was falling out of my seat, but I wasn't actually. Then we went on a big drop and we went down. We came near the trees and then caught the draft and went straight up. Dad landed before us. Sebastian gave me a wind sock when we landed. When I was in the air I could see mountains with snow and boats on lakes.
