Hi from Kelley in Canada! Yes, I admit I am in complete denial that my trip is over. However the jet lag reminds me it is. Boo Hoo!! I am not capable of doing much more than laundry so spent the day looking over the photos and smiling. Have heard from Alicia and Ross and all is well .....I miss her already!
After talking to my sister this morning, I have decided to add more photos (not just mountains) to the blog instead of just sending her a bunch of attachments. It seems if I were on facebook I could just add an album of pictures, but as I am not, here goes.
Compiled a few stats, as I really can not believe where our feet where able to take us. We completed 11 stages of the Tour de Mont Blanc covering 177 km and 11,206 m of height gain and loss in 12 days with 86 hours on the trail.
Thanks for checking in on us and our journey. It was one of the most amazing times for Alicia and I to share and so special to know we are supported by great family and friends back

Boy those pictures really demonstrate what a phenomenal trip this was. I keep looking down the page for - beer steins, lederhose, Heidi and the Sound of Music family rounding the corner singing Oh Canada. Hope there will be a slide show in Ladner soon.
