A stroll in the Alps

We went for a 5 hour, gasp for breath, ascent of one of the mountains in Le Mercantour National Parc. Breathtaking. On the way back down our feet were screaming.





After a swim (cold) and a hot shower we hobbled fearfully to dinner…

I thought cooking necessarily involved some form of heat. Apparently not, in France. Even the lettuce was fleeing the scene from this stuff. I seriously considered the ways in which I could use my napkin to pretend I needed a toilet visit and then allow the salmon to swim for its freedom. Tricia later orally released the salmon into the toilet but it was not in great shape by then.

Good to know that you are having your fill of beautiful mountains and valleys.

Sounds like you are having a wonderful time over there. Hope the economic woes are not causing you any grief. Marg
