I miss a lot of that, sitting here and relaxing with myself.

There used to be a lot of birds here.

But there was a lot to gain from this exposure.

Now they have more money for better education for their children.

But I miss very much.

The variety of languages in the logbooks speak of how far and wide the swings fame has travelled.

There are messages in Spanish, English, German, Chinese, Japanese and Arabic.

To date, Carlos has ten books filled to the brim.

And the view is gorgeous.

The media has given different names to the swing.

The swing at the edge of the world, and the swing of death are the most common.

Still, you dont want to fall off that thing.

Originally there was only one swing on the tree house, and it hung from a branch.

Now out of safety concern, a steel beam was added from which the swing hangs now.

A second swing was added as well.

There is also a rudimentary seat belt now.
