Hello again! Well, yesterday led me on a small adventure. I climbed up the side of the mountain overlooking my friends house. Much shorter trip than the monastery, but interesting nonetheless. I also found out that I am not afraid of heights like I thought. I am afraid of falling off of tall objects. And there were some sheer rock faces that my poor Converses could not cling to. I was uprooting trees and bushes to have a handhold. And the whole time going I was being told to not be scared and to stand all the way up. I was on the set of Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo, because that is what I was feeling.
The higher I climbed the more my brain would analyze ways down without slipping on a rock and avalanching my way to the street below. Did I forget there was a highway below this perch of rock I scaled? Yes, there was a highway intersection right below me. So if I slipped to my doom, I would most likely be the cause of a multi-car pile up.
Scariest thing ever! And I went skydiving...
