On A Claire Day by Carla Ventresca and Henry Beckett for July 30, 2012

He flew to the country at 40,000 feet and he’s afraid of heights???

I guess their roles have changed: now Paul is the party pooper. Aww.

haha it’s not too bad to be up there – the elevator’s scary though. I had to stand right in the middle and look straight up or close my eyes. I’m horrible with cable cars too but OK as soon as I get all the way up.

The key on heights like that is to look out not down.

Weird. If you remember, Paul and Claire first got together when he took her hang gliding, not the sport you’d expect from someone who had acrophobia…

I’m not normally bothered by heights, but, but I had a little trouble at the Eiffel tower.

I remember you!! ;-)

I with Paul on this one… not much to see other than a bunch of buildings anyway. And the ride down is torture because I feel like it’s just going to drop straight down. Aaaah!

I guess he doesn’t like heights.

I am terrified of heights, so I am with Paul.

It’s a shame. I built and fly my ultralight. I love looking straight down, whether at 50 feet or 8000 feet. Amazing perspective of the Earth. Even on a hot day in the 90s, it was around 40 above 4000 feet, like a thermal gradient.
