Wil...Thank y'all for your warm welcomes back. <br /><br />Will, I wish we'd done the grand Aiguille du Midi cable-car ride - apparently even more spectacular when you continue over to the Italian side. But it's the number one attraction for the summer hordes, so maybe best done out of season. The Flegere situation was bad enough - broken one day (so we walked up to La Charlenon), packed on another.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14506881804082382739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-26015456886662315632012-08-23T09:23:02.567+01:002012-08-23T09:23:02.567+01:00Welcome back, dear David.Welcome back, dear David.Roger Neillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16716925882482994792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-87082863688437067122012-08-23T01:08:08.498+01:002012-08-23T01:08:08.498+01:00How grand, indeed, to see you here, and in such ma...How grand, indeed, to see you here, and in such magnificent surroundings.

Welcome back and here's hoping the troubles are behind you.<br /><br />A colleague of mine and I used to take students to Europe for travel/ study in the 80s and 90s. When the itinerary permitted we took them to Chamounix. One year we went up one of the Aiguilles on a cable car even though it was socked in by cloud. That condition proved to be even more exciting because sudden small clearings would race by to frame a soaring eagle, a view of the valley or the sun or climbers. It was all very dramatic. We did the Mer de Glace and even walked into caves within it. Then we went for raclette and good wine!Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14279473113628377106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-35383397696166874052012-08-22T22:43:46.635+01:002012-08-22T22:43:46.635+01:00What glorious images... we crossed the Alps a bit ...What glorious images... we crossed the Alps a bit further East this summer.
