Your 'end of the day' scenario was oft repeated!

Your other half could enjoy the skiing, you could enjoy everything else and everyone enjoys hot chocolate beside a fire at the end of the day. Perfect!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00691167104849295862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7096424416646902124.post-75177995986283755262016-09-24T01:31:21.897-07:002016-09-24T01:31:21.897-07:00Hi John, try adding (in) a Scottish accent!

We rarely see so much as a snowflake around Carcassonne, so it seems incredible that actual skiing would be so close. The Pyrénées stations are nice in that they are relatively small and cheap. I didn't find the details about the magnetic vests. For the lifts?Taste of Francehttp://francetaste.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
