@ Everyone: I finally made it out of the clutches of Costa Rican Immigration. I’m back home and ready to get caught up.

@ Gennaro: My mom was one cool chick, believe me.

@ Jessica: What a great story! I had a similar experience when I flew with an aerobatic pilot. I nearly passed out in anticipation of the flight, but when it was over, I wanted to do it again. You just never know if you will like something until you have tried it (Green Eggs and Ham, anyone?).

I love Madeleine L’Engle, and this is an awesome article. When I was little, I liked rollercoasters, but for some reason I was scared to death of being upside down. My mother made me go on some loop the loop boat/spaceship thing at Astroworld, and I screamed and cried until I realized how funny my hair looked, hanging upside down. Since then I absolutely love being upside down. No longer short enough for hanging upside down on the monkey bars – but still pursue everything else I can.

This is certainly not an “adult” adventure…but it is an adventure that changed my perspective.
