Tour de France


Hey all, its been quite some time....ALOT HAS HAPPENED!

My Gal Jenny came out to visit for about 3 weeks and we did our own sort of tour de France. We stayed in La Grave for the beginning just while I finished up some work, and jenny got used to the jet lag. We hiked all over the mountain and I took her to the top of La Miege on a perfect clear and sunny day. Then we celebrated my birthday and left the next day for our adventure... First we went south to Nice where there was a huge festival with floats and spent some time in the sun and soaking up the beautiful view of the Sea. Then we hopped on board the Corsica Ferry and headed to Bastia for about a week, rented bicycles and road around the coast living off water bread and cheese we kept in my backpack - ah yes, the good life. Then it was to Paris where we stayed with some friends I made in my first week here in La Grave. Paris is beautiful and I hope I have captured it in my photos - who knows when ill be going back? There was a party waiting for us when we arrived and we were able to stay at my Friend Lucile's mothers apartment that had an amazing skyscraper view of the entire city! After that it was back to Geneva to say goodbyes to Jenny and then back to La Grave to make back all the money I spent.
Everything here is going well, the work is slow going sometimes because the snow gets very good very quick and it looks like I'll be coming back to the states in late may or so, we'll see how things go. I really miss everyone and I hope everyone is well. I've added photos from the whole trip so make sure you take a glimpse through my sunglasses!
Cheers, Bradford
