First time flying an airplane

I flew my first airplane yesterday, well sort of. It was a 2 seater plane and I flew it with the guidance of an instructor on board. I did take off and in the air piloting and the instructor landed the plane.

I had bought a groupon for the lesson which was 45 minutes. Piloting the plane was easier than I thought probably because I didn't have to control any of the knobs and levers, I had control of the steering column and the rudders. It was just like driving a car except there are two pedals for turning left and right as opposed to a brake.

Here are some pictures:

Day 13: Early breakfast and the train ride home


Beans were so good!


Via rail station.


This was like 1 week after I got back. Got a new haircut so I don't look like a hobo anymore.
Said goodbye to my hosts and took an early breakfast at a famous diner. Then quickly went to the train station and proceeded home. A good trip overall!
