Caitlin in France Says...

Friday, nothing but dinner with my boyfriend's mother so that is not really "blog worthy." But, Saturday I went hiking with some friends into the Jura, which is a mountain range between France and Switzerland. We spent 6 hours hiking through the mountains and even stopped for a gourmet picnic of roasted eggplant, pesto, and fresh rasberries we found on the way. MMMmmmmm. After many a good hour exercising, we put it all to waste and finished the night with a fondue dinner (the best kind with champagne!)...Sunday I went to a barbeque in a town about an hour north of Geneva, and we sat by the lake all day and had a long picnic. Even cooler, my boyfriend went paragliding off another mountain range in Geneva. At night, a spontaneous dinner with friends and many good bottles of wine. The pictures are extraordinary. Unfortunately, we didn't have off on Monday but we do have off tomorrow (Thursday) for a Geneva holiday called "Jeune Genevoise". The holiday dates back to the late 1500s and has something to do with fasting and religion. All most people know is that it is a day off... Will keep you posted on the upcoming weekend! Tickets to Elton John, for better or worse......
