Here we go!!!


Yesterday we arrived in Avon France via the Paris Connector. It was a lovely flight, and the drive was short to Fontainebleau. Anna and I were planning on staying at the Hotel Mercure Royal Fontainebleau, but the weather was so beautiful we decided to camp out where we planned on climbing today. We arrived after night fall so the hike in was a bit of a voyage. The only light was our head lamps until we built a fire. After camp was established for the night, Anna and I cracked open a bottle of Clocher des Bénédictins Merlot 2004 from the Clocher des Bénédictins Limoux Winery, A local favorite. The wine put us in a drowsy state so sleeping on the hard soil was of no concern. I slept like a new born. Today we will climb two routes I have always dreamed about, Cornelius and the Bleau Back Boulder. More about our trip next week!

Au revoir!
