In llama land there's a one man band...

Rachel left us this morning for a helicopter flight over the Bay! Being a travel agent, suppliers fall over themselves to "demonstrate" to her what they're offering and so she got it...yes...for free. Not only that, she departed from the private jet terminal of SFO - a place so exclusive that not even I have been there.

But she was good enough to take my camera up and share her experience with us mortals. Here it is:



Aviator glasses on, strapped in, ready to go.



Hovering above the airport.



Making her way north.



Over Golden Gate Park.



Downtown in the distance.



There's a huge bridge coming right for us!



The financial district (Logan's Dad was actually attending a lunch on the top floor of that tall black building on the right when this was taken! Coincidence?)



A new perspective on the sea lions.



Alcatraz.



A Pacific-eye-view of SF.



Safely back on terra firma (sunglasses still attached).
