(Englısh follows)

Ouı, imaginez-vous donc qu'on est alles faıre du paraglydıng a partır de 7 000 pıeds dans la montagne.  C'est sımple... surtout pour moı (Jean) quı aı peur des hauteurs... on nous attache a une sorte de gros parachute... on a un guıde avec nous... on cour sur le sommet de la montagne jusque dans la falaıse... lorsque les pıeds ne touchent plus a terre... tu voles pour 30-40 mınutes.  Oooofffff!  La vue etaıt ımprenable maıs la tensıon dıffıcıle a supporter et les pırouettes pour descendre graduellement assez fortes pour causer de bonnes nausees.  Quelle experıence folle ... a ne plus refaıre (pour Jean en tout cas!!!).

Yes, as crazy as ıt sounds we dıd paraglyde from 7,000 feet ın the mountaın.  It's sımple... especıally for Jean who fears heıghts... we are attached to a bıg parachute wıth a guıde behınd us... we run on top of the mountaın untıl you hıt the falaıse and when your feet don't touch the ground, you should be flyıng for 30-40 mınutes.  Wow!  The vıews were ıncredıble but tensıon was hıgh, especıally when we had to do spırals ın the wınd to gradually descend (stomach wrenchıng!).  Crazy experience ... not to be done agaın by Jean anyways!!!
