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 home!
Take care and happy hiking!
luv,
Kelley
PS Ooops it appears I have loaded too many favorite photos to allow me to change their order...sorry!
PS I believe Alicia will be making blog entries as her trip continues...stay tuned!

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.

Our hotel in Cormayeur
Found 31 other Canadians here....but on a bus transport to each trail for day hikes!
Hotel Edelweiss in La Fouly Day 7
We thought we had the dorm all to ourselves until 3 groups arrived with pack mules.....then we had 10 new roommates!
Mont Blanc from Les Contamines - Day 2
No matter where you are on the entire circuit....Mont Blanc is the show piece.
Valley flowers
We missed the Alpine meadows in bloom but managed to find this valley field of fall flowers.
Emergency Shelter
Looking back we are thankful for our great weather and that we did not need to make use of this type of shelter.
