Chamonix, France

After last year's experience in Chamonix, we felt the need to return to redeem ourselves, this time just the two of us.

Day 1:
Sunshine, good skiing, great food. Viva la France!

Note in the picture with Anthony you can see Chamonix in the valley below, with Mont Blanc above (right)

Day 2: Anthony skied the Vallee Blanche...
(1) The halfway point on the Aiguille du Midi tram (2) the view from the bridge at the top (3) view of the start of the Vallee Blanche (4) the ridgeline descent (5) panorama - note the Matterhorn in the far horizon (6) looking back up the ridgeline at the top of the Aiguille du Midi (7) inside the Vallee Blanche (8) glacier (9) more glacier

(1) view down the Vallee where the confluence of glaciers forms the Mer de Glace (2 - 6) glaciers (7) les Grands Montets (8) the hike out of the Vallee - an unexpected surprise (9) fin

Day 2: ...meanwhile, back in town Ashley enjoys shopping, great food, reading in the sun, and shopping

It is funny that I seem to be the first to make a comment. It must be the time difference. Anyway, how fun and what adorable aprons. I cannot believe you skied and you are pregnant. On top of that you don't even look pregnant. So not fair because I always look like Shamu. Anyway, I am glad that you had perfect weather and that you weren't carried down this time.
