Flying

Yesterday, I went flying.

in an airplane.

One of the English teachers at the school that I work at's husband took me flying yesterday in his airplane. Its a 4 seater and so quite small and some would say scary but I say awesome.

We flew over the region of Bourgogne in France (which i think is burgundy in english, but i could be wrong)

It was awesome.

The airport itself was quite an interesting experience. Because Roger (I call him Rog) is well known at this airport (which is on a military base) we didnt have to go thru security or anything. There was a French woman running the ground control wearing a very tight short skirt and an orange reflecter jacket and heels. Her job was to tell us when it was okay to take off. Now, im not sure if it was just this particular day that she decided to wear heels or if she wears heels every day but it didnt seem very practical (or smart for that matter) for her to be wearing these heels. I felt sorry for her because she looked so awkward trying to do her job properly.

Anyways, the flying part was so great. We werent able to see the Swiss alps because it was too cloudy but was still pretty great.
