Hang Gliding in the Dolomites


          One of the basic concepts behind my blog is that the world is full of pleasant surprises. Travel opens one up to finding the wonderful even at home. While driving through the Southern Tyrolean Alps (The Dolomites) we happened upon a group of folks diving off the highest peaks and hang gliding down into a lovely valley. I admit to being awed by it. I took a good number of photos using a zoom lens. I am not sure that I would have the courage to do this, but it looks like fun. I have done parasailing (Lake Tahoe, U.S.A.) and found it surprisingly less frightening than expected. When discussing this with some others, they indicated that they found it frightening to drive the Alps! Alas, each of us need to try new things in order to find out who we are.
