So, for my birthday this year Sarah paid for me to paraglide off Le Saleve, the mountain we can see from our back yard and the beginning of the French Alps. Here is a snippet of our discussion:
"Happy Birthday, Jaime!"
"You are paying for me to jump off a mountain?"
"Yes. You want to, don't you?"
"Um, I guess."
"It's no biggie, Jaime. You never hear of people dying while paragliding."
"Well, probably not a big news story some places. Also, there are cheaper ways to get rid of me instead of paying for me to fall off a mountain."
"Does your life insurance cover high risk activities? "
"Uh..what?"
So, the plan was to go on my birthday and jump with my good buddy Brent. Weather got in the way that day and so we waited for another visitor who was up to the challenge. Enter Sarah's friend Monica! It was such an amazing day...I am still reeling from the jump, but better left to a story heard first hand.
Here are the jumpers beforehand and a short video when I was up in the air...wow!
