In the evening of day 2, the dinner was barbeque with the guide and carriers. Great athmosphere, great fun... Gezellig!! Yesterday they walked for another 6 hours in hot conditions, but with a pleasant wind to cool them off. At 17h they arrived in the next valley, this one very narrow, to set camp for the night, with a view on... Aconcagua! Tim says - IT'S A MONSTER!!! Huge. Intimidating. The guys still hungry for climbing it, though!
And hungry they were... but dinner was only "served" at 22h, so plenty of time for reading and watching a movie. Yes, you heard me... a movie! Tim has the latest superthin/light Ipod with 26 movies loaded. Guys... what kind of holiday is this??? Copacabana, here they come....
Anyhow, they guys have an awesome time, and today they reach base camp. There the connection is better, so hopefully some more news.
In Grillon things are busy and I'm joggling between schools, activites, shopping, household, work, horses, dogs (they had to go to the vet.. nothing serious though) and other appointments! Try to get some sleep at night... At 1 am I heard noice, so I got the dogs out of their standard sleeping quarters (wash machine room) and let them sleep on the soft carpet in front of the door... I'm such a dork! But I fell asleep.
Tomorrow is last day at school before the winter break... Cool. We'll drive up to Servoz for some skiing, hot chocolate, crepes, games, dinners and movies with Bo and Anette. Super!
Brigitte, hang in there!
A toute a l'heure,
Bisous, Supermamas
