Yesterday I went parasailing on Lake Tahoe! I had no idea what to expect, but it wasn’t scary at all Once you start floating up into the air, it feels completely still and quiet – like you’re barely moving at all, just drifting weightless above the water. Katie and I were up there for about 15 minutes before they dipped us in the water then reeled us back in. Altogether an incredible ride – I’d definitely do it again sometime, given the chance!
Accomplished this with a trip to Lake Tahoe – while the place we’re staying is on the California side, we went to a Shakespeare festival on the Nevada side! Thanks, “Much Ado About Nothing,” for helping me cross off another state. My favorite part about (my admittedly limited view of) Nevada is the slot machines in the grocery stores.
