Uncle Pete & Uncle Jeff in France

 Last week we met my Uncle Peter and my Uncle Jeff in Chamonix/Mont Blanc to join them in discovering the French Alps. Jeff and Joel, being the more advanced on the slopes, were hoping to take a guided tour and ski one of Mont Blanc's glaciers. Unfortunately the weather was slightly less than ideal and the guided tours were cancelled. BUT Peter and I were able to enjoy our Sunday activity (see above). "Just keep running off that cliff" they said "We'll do the rest". 

Paragliding wasn't exactly on either one of our bucket lists but it was certainly an experience to remember. A gorgeous 15 minutes of peacefully gliding over the slopes and the city below, very nice. 

They then popped down to Monaco and the Monte Carlo before joining us in Lyon where we enjoyed a lovely few days of browsing the city in the rain, relishing in Lyon's most impressive restaurants and cafes. 


Jeff enjoys my singing from the top of Lyon's Roman Ruins. 
Tasting the micro-brewed beer of Brasserie Georges.

They scheduled themselves just a half-day to enjoy the romance of Paris before flying home.
Thanks so much for the visit you two, our livers will be in recovery for weeks.
