Paragliding and Bellingham Saturday we took a hike up Tiger Mtn, to Poo-Poo point, where there was a Paragliding Fly-In. Basically, lots and lots of people were paragliding from there. Fun to watch. Sunday we drove up to Bellingham with Soe. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Waiting in line to launch. |   This launch didn't go particularly well. | Going backwards on your butt--not a good thing! |   The problem launches are always more fun to watch. | Tandem launches too. Usually something appeared to not go according to plan. |   Up, up, and away! | At one point I counted 28 paragliders in the air. |   At Soe's friends house near Bellingham. Eric is holding the cat, which has a very strange trait - it drools when you pet it. Note the paper towel held underneath. | Eric, Soe, and Jeannie. |   They have a beautiful, lush, sunny yard. | Jeannie's husband Michael carved the tree stumps into mushrooms. |   Soe and Eric in front of the railroad track, right behind the house. | A cafe in Fairhaven. |  Soe told us he used to spend whole days hanging out at this cafe. | | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
