World Travelers

Yikes. I've been negligent of this blog, which is a shame because we actually have exciting things happening! Usually all we have to say is that hey-- we've been studying hard. Real fun :).

So, I've decided to provide a quick favorite-photos recap of our last month living the euro-life!

First, a road trip to Italy with friends, where we promptly jumped in the Mediterranean:

And walked the gorgeous streets of Cinque Terre

Beautiful view of Cinque Terre

Then it was off to Pisa to see if the tower really does lean (it does)

Then to beautiful Florence, where we captured the amazing view from the top of the Duomo

Amazing

Next we were off to Luzern, Switzerland with our friends Allison and Kurtis. 

It was a bit damp, but still fun!

Flying the helicopter simulator at the REALLY expensive museum we went to while it was pouring rain.

The Lion of Luzern-- Mark Twain called him "the most mournful and moving piece of stone in the world." I really have to agree-- he was beautiful.

We love us some Switzerland!

 

The next weekend Jordan ran a 10K in Chamonix, France, which is right by Mont Blanc. His hope was to take it easy and just get some practice with high altitude training for his Matterhorn marathon, but he ended up getting 2nd place overall!

Before the race:

Just gorgeous

2nd place finish!

Top 3 guys-- Jord was definitely the youngest! A lot of people are surprised to learn that primo running years are typically in the thirties, as opposed to twenties. So he's still got a lot of time to get even more amazing :)

 This is one of my favorite shots of the whole Europe trip

This weekend we've got his marathon, and we're excited to see how it goes! :)

As for the rest of the travels, I think I'd better make another post. Preview: McGregor family visit to Geneva, Chamonix, Montreux, Gruyere, and Venice!
