Holy cow! Today was crazy! My Rotary district is very active with us and we end doing activities all the time! I love it cause I get to hang out with my friends and do cool stuff! Well today was Legen... Wait for it... dary!!! We went with Henry (our exchange president) to the main military academy in Peru. The camo buildings and military men everywhere were pretty cool, but what cam next was epic! We got to use the parachute practice rig for training paratroupers! This consisted of a 30 foot drop and then like a zipliney thingy for a while, like parachuting out of an airplane! I'm not great with heights and I was running on 2 hours of sleep (fiesta!) so I was pretty dang scared! Everybody at least jumped once, but most twice! My first jump was just vertical and I screamed like and little girl! It was so fun though! When I reached the top of the jump tower for my second jump, since I was last they asked me if I wanted to do a free fall jump. Of course I said yes!! It sounds way scary, but it was only a change in position to where you're facing the ground and not sitting up! I felt so awesome! Only Honore and I jumped like that!
I'd never done anything like it before and it was awesome! That's what I got!
