Wednesday, February 9, we traveled with Katie and Jason to Megève so that they could ski with views of Mont Blanc. Mont Blanc means "White Mountain" and is the highest mountain in the Alps, Western Europe and the European Union. It rises 15,782 feet above sea level and is ranked 11th in the world. The mountain lies between Italy and Haute-Savoie, France. It has not snowed in Megève since December 24. The last time we traveled to Megève with Kendall it was so cold that we couldn't take our gloves off for even one minute. This time it was so warm that people were sunning on lawn chairs and we ate outside on the terrace, en plein air. It was a beautiful, sunny day. Some people were skiing in sweatshirts. Ski enthusiasists are quite upset with the lack of snow since Christmas in the Haute-Savoie region. They feel that if we don't receive any more snow in the next two weeks, ski season will be over! C'est dommage!
