flying lesson - unusual attitude recovery

Flew this evening. Did a little stall and hood work and then unusual attitude recovery (first time for me). Was pretty neat. Interestingly enough, I didn't get queasy during the attitudes but did feel it a little bit after coming down. Landed pretty well in a decent crosswind. Unusual attitude recovery means that you put on the hood (you can only see the instruments) and close your eyes. The instructor then takes the controls and maneuvers into a bank and/or nose up/down attitude and you open your eyes and have to immediately return to normal flight.
