Parapenting!

It has been some time since we have updated our blog to let you know what we have been up to since August. We have been to the States twice in the past 3 months and we are getting settled back into life in France. It’s nice to be back on a regular time schedule and not wake up in the middle of the evening. The Fall was amazing this year and lasted up to last Monday when it started raining and knocking the leaves off the trees. Now there is snow on the mountains, which are cloud covered at the moment and will probably show themselves sometime tomorrow. Snowboarding will start up some time in December if it gets colder and stays that way.

Last Saturday we had the pleasure to parapenting (paragliding) with Stacey’s boss, Phillipe and some of his buds. Basically, there is a cliff, runway and a parachute that acts as a wing to keep you afloat. It’s an awesome sensation to run off a cliff and realize you are flying above the trees. It’s a big sport here and you can do it all year with the right weather conditions. Also, with wind thermals you can potentially fly around for hours at a time.

This weekend we are traveling to Budapest, Hungary for a 4 day vacation. There will be an additional post that right after we get back. I promise!

As always, there are more pictures on Picassa (click).

  1. Wish I could’ve been there!

  2. You two are really seeing a good part of Europe. Are you sure you’re not on vacation and once in a while work a little. Sure sounds like you’re having a wonderful time there . Enjoy it while you can. Peggy & Guy
