+1 on flaring!

I was either 6 feet too high (ouch! it's not supposed to bounce like that!) or too low (oops...oh *****.....followed quickly by... instructor: "I've got it")

Learning crosswind landings was a challenge, but got much better with practice.

Congrats, keep us informed of your progress, and have fun!
