I am looking from my hotel room out at a rushing mountain stream gushing down the slope over the rocks. The sound is loud enough to come through the closed casement windows and soothe me while I sleep. The mountains surrounding the valley of our ancestors are steep and high with villages and vineyards adorning their slopes. One village at Reddes is so high up that it requires a cable car to ascend although our cousin Rene tells us that before the cable that of course people walked those steep slopes.
We are off to church this morning where our great grandfather attended before he left this beautiful valley in 1858 for a new life in America. We have been so busy that we have been unable to post but hope that we can add more and photos by tonight.
Au revoir for now.
