Our painting tour in the Alps continues
Today the day started with Tai-chi. Sandy decided to do a few minutes of tai-chi and Susan decided to join her. Five minutes later five of them were doing tai-chi in the living room. A great way to start the day.
In the morning we went to Chamonix to see Mont Blanc, the highest peak in Europe (close to 15,000 feet). We took the train to go up to 6000 feet to go and see the “Sea of ice” glacier that comes down from Mont Blanc. Since the gondola going down to the glacier was closed, some of us hiked down the trail. Here is a picture of Joyce by the glacier.

It was an incredible clear day so we were able to see the top of each mountains, even Mont Blanc (which is not always a sure thing). Everyone loved that day with a 360 degree panorama view of the mountains. From L to R: Jackie, Victoria, Joyce, Susan, Patty, Sandy and Bev.
My name is Jackie Grandchamps. In 2003, I founded French Escapade, offering another way to travel in small groups of 8. "Don't be a tourist, be our guest" is the moto and spirit of my company.
