20111215 It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

Humility is the fear of the LORD; its wages are riches and honor and life. - Proverbs 22:4

THU - Today was another white and snowy winter day. Our snowmen were covered with more snow. The scenery outside our balcony was whiter than before. And we could not ski again. We can see 'bianco' everywhere, but no sight of the monte. But still we had fun! We indulged in nice pastries and hot chocolate at Dolce Voglia Cafeterie. The kids went tobogganing again at a different slope. They really enjoyed tobogganing. Being our last night at Courmayeur, Monte Bianco, we had dine out at an authentic restaurant, recommended by Marissa, the owner of Residence Le Grand Chalet. The ambience was fantastic and the food was really delicious, although pricey. As it was snowing heavier and heavier, we could not ski or drive to Chamonix. So, we bought crepes from American Bar and enjoyed the night back at our chalet, eating crepes, drinking wine and hot chocolate, and playing Uno.

This was our last night in Courmayeur, Monte Bianco. And it was snowing heavier and heavier. We could feel "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas", but could not help wondering if it would be safe to drive down the mountain the next day because "Oh, the weather outside is frightful!"
