Higher Still

Embrun

I stayed in Embrun for three days, courtesy of a host named Nathalie whom I never met!






More roadside well-wishers



Guillestre

Snow-covered glaciers



The view from the balcony in Risoul

My hosts in Risoul, Chloe and Nicolas. Graduate students on holiday, they do rock climbing, swimming in icy Alpine rivers, and a little gardening. As I was walking north from Embrun, a friend of theirs stopped to ask if I needed anything. By the end of the day I too was swimming in an icy Alpine river. I draw the line at rock climbing.

The next morning I headed out with the friend of Chloe and Nicolas towards Briançon.
