Cannes: Just around the next bay is Cannes, the site of the annual film festival. Pictured is one of us (?) with our rental bikes in the 90+ degree heat. Next stop: gelati. |

De Plongée: JenO on the boat in the gulf of Juan which took us scuba diving. Vis was good, but not too many exotic plants/fish. Good way to escape the heat though! |

Chamonix: After diving to 25 meters late in the day in Juan-les-pins, we took a night train up to Chamonix and took a gondola to the highest point in Europe 15 hours later! Itchy joints aside, the view was spectacular. We also did some hiking to slightly lower peaks... this pic shows Jen on "le Brevent" - at a mere 2525 meters. Behind/below her you can see the town of Chamonix and in the background, Aiguille du Midi. |

Aiguille du Midi: This photo was taken at 3842 meters above Chamonix. If you look closely you can see campers climbing up the icy path thru the gusty winds back to shelter. |

 |
Mont-Blanc: Taken from the gondola as we approached Mont-Blanc, which is at 4807 meters. Both JenO and I nearly passed out due to the thin air. For perspective, the tiny blue spot in the middle of the photo is a lake and the cracks in the snow are crevises, some as wide as 100 meters and 200 meters deep. |
