A few weekends back in March we escaped the cold and headed down to the Miami sunshine for a spectacular outdoor wedding between our good friends Diana and Jose. The day before the wedding while the girls were away at the spa, the guys chartered a deep sea fishing boat and spent the day roughing it on the high seas. Amongst our exciting catches were a huge hammerhead shark (which we released) and several mackerel, which (not so lucky) were later cooked up at a fun family picnic down by the water.

We rented city bicycles for the weekend and biked over the border into neighboring France where we then took a (rather scary) cableway up to the top of Mt. Salève (1380m). Mt. Salève is the first ridge of the Alps rising just southeast of Geneva. Fortunately, it was a clear day and from the top we had an extraordinary view for miles over the entire city where we could easily see the lake and even the famous Jet d’Eau fountain! There are also footpaths galore up top (which become cross-country skiing trails in winter), which we hiked along for a bit. We then settled down to enjoy a tasty picnic lunch on the mountain side, where we had fun watching the paragliders run and jump off over the cliff’s edge only to suddenly plummet down… before catching the next breeze and rising high up in the sky.
