School performance


Today was Zoe's school performance.  I guess they only do it from Zoe's grade level upwards, whereas in Fontanil they did it for every class.  It was in the brand new "Vence Scene", and was actually really good, as far as these things go.  Afterwards, we all went into town to buy cheese and supplies.  Later on Alex and I built his model Zero airplane that mom had brought

Climbing outside


For the first time this year -- crazy.  I guess we've been too busy.  No endurance at all.
They were roasting pigs in le Fontanil for some reason

Col de la Madeleine


Via montgellafrey.  Beautiful, but very difficult!



Later, there was a party for our Japanese/Italian neighbors.  It was really sad to realize that they will be going to soon.
