I've been back in France about a week now and today my friends went home. The weather, as is usually the case in the mountains, is mixed. Some beautiful hot sunny days, then days like today when it rains and thunders. A few days ago we went for a walk up to a tiny high Alpine village called Le Monal, only accessible in the summer or by off piste skiing. There are wonderful picturesque views across the valley to the glacier of Mount Pourri. And the strangest thing...right up in the middle of nowhere is small place where an old lady sells cheese. The most gorgeous cheese. It's called Beaufort and is a speciality of the region. Summer Beaufort is the best because it's made form the milk while the cows have been grazing up there in the mountains. In the winter the cows are down the mountain in barns. A couple of views and the cheese place. That waterfall you can see coming down from the glacier was MASSIVE.

Going to Annecy today, just for one night. It's been a week of beautiful sun and guess what, today comes thunderstorms. So it looks like no swimming in the lake. Will just have to do some shopping instead.

You realize RC that your travel escapades thread is one of the longest in the forum? That' with you excluding your F1 circuit visits. I have not had a vacation this year, maybe... maybe if I'm lucky I'll go somewhere next year. What am I doing wrong?

Well,I'm here! Fuertoventura. And the Vila is mega! Overlooking the sea, and I can hear and smell the sea!!!! Lovely terraces , BBQ and a little pool. I'll get some pics in daylight. The resort seems nice not too big, not too small. Lots of good restaurants and bars. Nikki comes out next Sunday....then we will hit the cocktail and dance bars and see what havoc we can wreak there. And the best thing!, the villa has wifi so I can talk to you guys!

You know if any of us were at that villa, no one would be here posting. You're too committed RC, at least there's no racing next weekend. See what you can find about Cáceres.

Here is the garden to the villa. First picture is taken from the upstairs balcony. Second picture is taken from the downstairs patio. Think I might just go and cool off in that little pool right now.
