| I began my trip in France, where I planned to spend my winter working in the Alps. On arriving, I made my way south to visit friends and family, and to store my gear for the winter before setting out on my fall trek. Because of a fuel strike, I ended up moving through France far slower than I had intended, but that turned out to be a blessing in surprise, as I would have not made it back to Avignon in precisely at the right time to see Kelly and Winnie married otherwise. Before exiting France, I made a stop in the Alps, to get a lay of the land and scout out any job possibilities beforehand. After a somewhat mellow week there, I made my way to Geneva and my trip began getting quickly less mellow as I met the Bells from Montreal. |
