Chamonix in the spring


Nice little hike to the Gorges de l'Aveyron.  I'm loving Chamonix in the spring: tons of walks, biking tracks, etc....

Life in France

About a month ago, Antoine and I decided to leave Puerto Rico.  Where to? We were not quite sure, so we headed to the south of France for a trip of kitesurfing, windsurfing, surfing, skiing, hiking... anything fun, you name it, and we're up for it!!!  

We are gathering our thoughts at the moment, and making decisions on what is going to come next.

In the mean time, this is what has been going on:

Beauduc Trip
Beauduc is large bay an hour from Marseille, where the wind almost always blows, super fun flat water on the inside (see pics below), and little waves for perfect kickers on the outside.  When it's under 25 knots, it's perfect... but you can also wake up one morning, and it will be blowing 60 knots!  That happened to us!  Antoine could not hold on to his 3.7m windsurf.... so time to go!


Carcassone Trip
I had never seen Carcassone: it's a fortified city about 1h and a half away from Montpellier, and that also happens to have a great windsurfing/kitesurfing spot next to it: Lac de Guanguise (see above).  It was kinda of gusty, but still fun to be in fresh water, and in a new place.


Carro Trip
Who wants strong wind? Carro in 45 minutes away from Marseille, and is a Tramontane spot.  It's a beautiful place with waves (not easy to find in the south of france), but the only problem is that it blew 50 knots   constantly gusting to 60 all the time we were there!  I tried windsurfing on 3.7m but could not even hold on to that.  I mostly spent my time taking pictures then!
Me thinking: "hum, looks windy!"

Antoine thinking: "hum, this is fun!"

And then of course, there was the amazing skiing trip in Chamonix


More great adventures coming soon!!!
