Louisville to Geneva, Switzerland - Day 1

I’m embarking on another hiking adventure — this time to the Alps! I will be in 3 countries — Switzerland, Italy and France — hiking below and beyond Mont Blanc. I am excited to be accompanied by my Palm Springs buddy, Sydney, and meeting up with 22 other Road Scholar participants.

Last year several of our other Palm Springs hiking friends (aka “sole sisters”) hiked the full 100 miles of the Tour de Mont Blanc. Sydney and I decided to do a more civilized (and abbreviated) version. This includes being bussed to trailheads, having restaurant meals, a hot shower and a warm bed every night. We may miss some of the scenery (and exertion), but we will get plenty of views. And along the way we will visit charming villages, take multiple cable car rides, learn how to make cheese, polenta and other goodies, and just enjoy the ambiance of the mountain splendor.

So, I’m off, leaving behind Louisville Slugger and headed to Geneva.
