Exploring on the MTB
Above Quaix. There is a new fire road up there, but I have not discovered where it ends up. I'm hoping it goes near the Aiguille.

Saint-Antoine l'Abbaye
We went to one of our favorite small towns with James and Christine today. Lunch was local ravioli, which was followed up by walking around, touring the perfume museum, etc etc

looking for a hot water boiler?

Another excellent ride with Hank
Up the infamous climb from Sechilliane to Luitel: Tiny, very steep roads!

Quaix
Zoe has been going up to Quaix with school for field trips -- they have been doing hikes, nature discovery and today she brought home a chausson pommes that she had baked in a wood fired oven. Excellent!
