Back in 1996 I started taking flying lessons.  I love the feeling of freedom and separation from the world you get from flying.

It's been a while since I have actually been in the air due to a lack of funds but soon I will be up again.  I took lessons and finished my first solo flight before I ran out of cash.  I plan on finishing my lessons by the end of 1999.

A nearby rock quarry. If you look closely you can see the bubbles coming up from the scuba divers.
