Wenatchee

The
helicopter
belonged
to
a
friend
of
my
host
mum,
so
we
got
the
ride
for
free.
He
picked
us
up
at
the
airport
of

exchange
partner,
her
brother
and
me
about
one
hour.
First
we
just
flew
above
East-Wenatchee
and
the
area
around.
Then
we
almost
landed
on
the
Saddle
Rock,
where
you
have
a
large
view
to
Wenatchee
and
its
mountains.
After
the
flight
above
the
Wenatchee
High
School
and
the
panther
pitch.
From
above
you
can see the Columbia River with the two
bridges.
Finally
we
landed
again
at
the
East Wenatchee Airport.
My experience:
It
is
pretty
impressive
to
see
Wenatchee
from
the
top.
The
view
is
indescribable.
You
can
see
the
beautiful
mountains
and
the
valleys
around
Wenatchee.
The
Columbia
River,
with the two bridges, is the line cutting Wenatchee in two parts. The school was very big
from
above.
Sometimes,
when
the
helicopter
made
sharp
turns,
I
became
dizzy,
but
it
was totally worth it. It was an unforgettable day.
Personal conclusion:
It
was
definitive
the
best
thing,
I
did
when
I
was
in
the
United
States.
I
would
recommend
the
helicopter
ride
everybody,
but
if
you
have
fear
of
heights
or
if
you
throw
up
fast,
you
shouldn`t
do
it.
But
in
conclude,
when
you
have
the
chance
to
do
this
for
free,
you
have
to do this.
