West Virginia.

About a week ago, I got the idea that I wanted to go paragliding - this is when you run off mountains strapped to a fabric wing and let the wind carry you. Because I couldn't find Paragliding for Dummies on Amazon, I decided to actually take some lessons, so Han - my most foolish friend - and I drove 6 hours into West Virginia to meet Dwayne McCourt, the area's premier paragliding instructor.

Here are some thoughts from the trip:

West Virginia local cuisine is delicious.

But there are consequences.
Mountain biking is hard. There is more walking than biking.
Happy cows look like this.
Country humor.
Sketchy dudes are everywhere.
Paragliding is not easy.
