Day Ninety-One

Day Ninety-One
Day 5 - New Zealand


People sometimes talk of a bucket list, and the things that would go onto that list, if it actually existed.  Today I was actually able to check something off of my "list".  And it was no slight task, believe me.
Those close to me know my fear of heights.  This isn't a normal "fear"... it has truly taken me down more than once.  It's gotten worse with age, to the point that I froze at the top of St. Paul's Cathedral in London, started to cry at the top of a lighthouse on Belitung Island, and once even had to talk myself out of fainting while watching some kids climb up the back of bleachers at my old high school football stadium.  It's truly sad.
So, the fact that I actually jumped off the Kawarau bridge (the ORIGINAL site of the very first bungy) with my best friend, Crystal, is more than worthy of today's blog (and my bucket list).
I was very proud.  And later asked if I enjoyed it .... it was absolutely thrilling and freakin' awesome. 
Below is a collage of photos taken by AJ Hackett Bungy of our jump.  WHOOHOO!!!!

About Me

My photo
Grad Student. Wife. Mom. An artist, yogi, photographer, graphic designer, former teacher and expat...photography has been part of my life since I can remember. I love the sound of a shutter clicking, travel, lotus flowers, inversions, backyards, an ice cold G&T, a great pair of shoes, and an inspiring read....just to name a few. I truly believe Ewan MacGregor could be my best friend and I was a dancer in my past life....or at least should have been. (And no, I can't dance.) LIFE IS GOOD.
