Launch on day one
At Tre Pizzi, we didn't fly- we played hackysack and had handstand contests.... and took pictures of flowers.

More flowers, on the way to Perugia... Lisa is such a flower child...

I said, I freaking LOVE the signs in Italy. This one means: WATCH OUT!!!! Blue snake crossing!!!! Today was a blast- task 3, that is. I was doing really well, going very fast, and then we had to cross the valley and hit a point that we've had every day, then got a short distance to goal. It was pretty blue in the valley and I saw no one after struggling a bit at the south WP, well no one headed across the blue, anyhow. Once I started across, I had a few wispy clouds, and I hung in and got pretty slow. I raced to the point when I saw another glider turning above it, but I didnt find what she was in. So I blasted towards goal and knew I was going to be short into a slight cross wind. But I just kept going for lack of any better ideas, and there were two gliders much higher than me turning in God knows what, and still I went straight on. My numbers said I had it by 200, and I remembered I had my stuff in metric, and so I trusted it- again, for lack of any better options. I squeaked into goal without any turns and actually landed on my feet. I have seen many people roll in their landings here, but I do believe I am the only one who rolled my launch off... So I dont know where things stand but I think I am doing a bit better after today. I hope. We shall see.... I know this post sucks, but I am being majorly distracted....
