    I wish I was there. Almost had a chance,
    when I was in my 20's. Met an olympic
    guy in Houston. He was crazy for me and wanted me to go to Lake Luzerne, his Dad had a Hotel there. I had my head turned by the man I married. Looking back I should have gone. Haha
    Have fun, thanks for the photo of the dog gear.

    Thanks for the visit. It was lovely to see the street snow scenes in this lovely town this morning... Dogs always seem so contented in France.

    Oh, I wish I was there, too. I adore Zermatt and my husband keeps telling me how much new snow is falling on the slopes there (while we have a not-great year in the Western US). Have a wonderful time, Vicki!

    Takes me back to our ski weekends in Zermatt when my husband and I lived in Geneva. It was one of our favorite ski resort towns. Thanks for bringing back the memories.

    I am so far behind in my reading - love, love this!! There's just something about the Swiss alpine gestalt!! My husband is so upset that we have no snow - I think I told you I got skis for Christmas - not my first choice but if I were going somewhere like this, it would certainly ameliorate the appreciation of the gift!!
