Today we rode the gondolas to almost the highest place in Europe; Mont-Blanc. These Alps were beautiful. The Swiss Alps overwhelm you with their beauty while the French Alps overwhelm you with their Ruggedness and Beauty. To me it was one of the best days ever in Europe. It was cold at the top; about 25 degrees. Nonnie was almost frozen, when we were in the wind, but she was revived by a big cup of hot chocolate. There were fantastic vistas above the clouds and it was a beautiful day. We did some hiking at the midway point up the Mountain and got lots of pictures. Enjoy some of our pictures
