Recommend some interesting activities/experiences

Hiya Wizzygal, In my Photos on my profile I have put the photo that I was going to put into a response that has taken more time than I would care to admit to put it there. No matter it´s there it´s a terrible photo really as I could not get a fixed view of it as you can imagine as we were going past in the Car and he could not slow down either. I was suggesting it as an activity perhaps I am calling it the wrong thing altogether as well as I always use Spanish you see. Is it hang gliding what he is doing in the Photo. When I saw him doing that I thought of you and you wanting to do something else different so I really tried so hard to take this Photo I craned my neck like a Giraffe trying to get a good shot of him but there were really strong Cross Winds too but he looked so fantastic up there and the scenery is fantastic too. I like all your other activities that you have been doing. Sandcastles and kites lucky thing I long to get my bucket and spade out again (grin). Nice to see you around wizzygal luvya.xxx

Wow Wizzy! That is an awesome idea to put some spark into your life! I would like to ride a Segway, they look like a lot of fun! The Monkees! Are they still going? I heard of a guy on the radio early this year or it might have been last year who did something mind blowingly out of the ordinary every day for a month. He got media attention and did it for some sort of charity too I think. I cannot remember the details now, but what he did was incredible. I think that I might make this a goal for next year. To do something wild every month. You have inspired me Wizzy! What else have you done in the last few months since this discussion started? The only really exciting thing for me this year (other than moving house) is that I finally got myself a motorbike again after being without one for over ten years. I have been enjoying that!

I want to try hang gliding.

Sadly I have not done much out of the ordinary. I walked up to Clingman's Dome which is a really long uphill climb, but when you get to the top you are actually in the clouds, that was pretty cool. That is in Tennessee. I have not really done anything really extreme in my life, I have never bungee jumped, rode in a helicopter, skied on land or water, and I have never even ridden on a Segway. I have ridden a horse a few times though. Probably the most exciting thing I have done is ride on roller coasters or body surfed in the ocean.

What about tree planting? Mother Earth needs renewal of its forest. The threat of global warming is imminent, participating in such activities lets you contribute in the efforts to save planet Earth.

I always challenged myself on doing something that others are afraid to do. I once went to a haunted place here in our town just to prove that there is/no ghost. My heart was pumping so hard but the excitement was extreme. Adrenaline rush is kind of addictive and I don't want to get hooked..hehe.

I do not think of the things I do as unusual. In the last year, however, I have provided event staffing at a venue, as part of a security team. Mostly kept people going where they were supposed to and not going where they were not supposed to. I have done census in a town 200 miles from me. I also began training to do security transportation. TSA has nothing on me, I can do a pat down and I can put you in hand cuffs. However that job fell through. Those are things that come to mind right now. In the last few years hubby and I have found out about chestnuts and attended a chestnut festival learning new recipes. We also went when the new crop was ready and bought chestnuts at a chestnut farm. Saw what they looked like on the tree and how the owner grew and harvested them.
