So I jumped off a bridge today.
It was a very tall bridge, though I'm not sure how much, as the internet has failed at telling me how high Viaducto Miranda is from the river below. But I did it tied to a cord, and then swung from one edge to the other; it's a sport called Pendulum.
The name describes quite accurately what happens when you do jump of the bridge. And there really are no words for the experience. All I can say is how happy I am that I did, how exciting and exhilarating it was, and how willing I would be to do it all again.
And yesterday it was hand gliding! Two days from now it'll be rappelling from a waterfall. Maybe I'm turning into an adrenaline junky? Seems like a fun thought.
Someone also took a very good video, as I was told. So if they do indeed email it, you guys get to hear me scream for all of three seconds.
