The weather gods have been so kind to us in waiting with the attack of winter. Building the van in t-shirt in the arctic circle has been pleasant and driving has been ever so kind. Plus seeing the transformation of this magic town is fun to watch from the beginning. […]
Yesterday was probably one of the bigger days in a string of big days… As Rachel and I were waiting on the parking lot at La Flégère, minutes after 11 am, there was movement in the cable car. We about choked when a spitting image of Craig, my boss in […]
