Snow in the mountains!




The last weekend of November, our good friend, Peter Dunn, called and said, let's go find some snow! He has a Range Rover, four wheel drive, with WINTER tires...
Off we went...towards La Foux d'Allos...

As we climbed into the Alps, the snow got heavier and heavier, and the roads were not in the best of conditions. The views were spectacular, and we had to turn back before we got to the pass that would lead us to this mountain village, but, it still gave us a bit of the gorgeous views of the mountain villages. You might recognize, this is our Xmas card photo, taken by Peter...in the Alps...

Heading BACK towards home, we searched for the perfect spot for our "French Lunch" and we came into a sleepy little village, Annot. The slushy streets kept folks from wandering around, but we entered a darling little hotel, with a charming, wood paneled dining room, and a BLARING fire! Just what we were looking for. Luck was on our side when we were able to sit directly in front of this fire, and enjoy the plat du jour. Warm, hot food, une piche' du vin, and voila! A perfect afternoon!

This is a place to remember, not far from home, yet half way to our mountain FIX!!!
