6 Weeks of flying! uhhhhhhhhh!
Posted: Thu Aug 06, 2009 3:17 pmAllison and I had an amazing 6 week flying trip. It started off with hang gliding and paragliding in Yosemite and Dunlap, followed by 6 straight speed flying days in Idaho, and then 4 weeks in France where we got over 20 flying days and about 40 flights each in the Alps. Abundant thermals took us thousands of feet skyward almost every day! The Alps were green green green! The lakes were perfect to swim in and there were no mosquitoes or bears to bug you. I highly recommend it, there is unlimited recreation to be had there. It was also super fun hanging out with many friends along the way... good times!!! Below are some videos of the trip. Enjoy!
much love, Aaron and Allison

Aaron on a Via Ferrata in Passy. Some locals call it rock climbing for girls, but it definitely had my attention for all 1100feet and 2 hours of non-stop exposure.
