A cheesy start ?

Day 1, August 24, made for a great start. Though some could not make it on a Friday afternoon to our chalet at 2000m, above Evolène, a wonderful group of friends and family joined Carlos and me for Assiette Valaisanne, Raclette, Humagne Blanche and Cornalin: My mom Trudi and her sister Hanni, cousin Anita, Peter and Eliette, Mischa and Stephanie, Samuel, Raymonde, Nicole, and their friends from the Vieux Mazot ("mais c'est le paradis ici!").

Watching Dent Blanche and Matterhorn, we slowly chewed on cheese and stories from 2 to 8pm, followed by various tartes aux fruits. The lights on the glaciers at sun set were something special this day - changing from orange to purple to blue. See some pictures from the day.

If all is well that starts well, this promises to become a great tour - and maybe also great next 50 years!
