Happy 2008!

To start the new year off I've dusted off the blog and am posting once again.

Part of the slow down was due to the holidays, part due to thinking of a new name since 'Steve and Sarah Move to Paris' won't work anymore. As of February 1 we are relocating to London. London will be fun and exciting and we are looking forward to a new adventure. Leaving Paris is sad, but we console ourselves by saying at least Paris is a short train ride away.

Steve and I spent the New Year's holiday in Annecy, France.

Annecy is a very quaint little town.

For Christmas Kate and Ken gave us a Flip video recorder. The above video is from Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, where we spent the day. It's short, but for a first try it's okay. The flip is really a cool toy. Thanks Kate and Ken!

Chamonix was literally breath taking. We paid lift ticket prices to take a cable car up to 3842 meters, which I think is about 11.3K feet. It was so cold (and for me, hard to breath) that I didn't take as many pictures or videos as I would have liked to. The views were amazing. If you look at the pictures below you'll see a few with people hiking down with skis on their backs. Once skiers get off the cable car they climb down for a bit, with ropes, before they get to a point where they can start skiing.

Other pictures are posted here.

Cheers to a happy and healthy 2008!
