For our birthdays this year my closest, "bestest" friend and I decided to go skydiving (Tandem jump, which is recommended for first time jumps). The way we saw it was, we're Geminis, which is an air sign, we were meant to fly! Because of bad weather we actually went two weeks after our birthday weekend, but we did do it. We jumped from the plane at 14,000 feet and did a free-fall for 55 seconds (which at 120 miles means we fell for close to 2 miles). The only word I can think of to describe it is amazing, but it was beyond that. Here's a not so good picture of me in
free-fall
We're already trying to think of what we can do for our birthdays next year... she wants to go hang gliding, I want to go spelunking... maybe we should toss a coin.
