Many of the pictures I took on this trip (except those of ME at every summit) are on the Lost Boys blogspot as one of the buttons….along with a bazillion other pictures from others in our band. At some point our tour organizer, Leslie, will post his trip blog on his own site. Among his many, many talents he does book reviews so I look forward to his read for he is factual, historical, and funny.

Casartelli memorial. Fortunately we all came round with better result.

Some piddling yesterday walking outside around the house with this strapped to my head while talking to myself (neighbors are used to that) & then plugging it into a TV to watch was successful. No computer hookup yet. Maybe you can chug up Ventoux with me, descend down the backside, sail off the edge into………………….
