HOLY CONOLE, A MISUNDERSTANDING

K, let me start of my saying wow, the biggest misunderstanding of all time just happened, but itwas still good, and I still had fun. So, over Face book chat with my host sister Amandine, we talked about going on a vacance to a cabin on Mount Rosa. Now what I didn't understand, was the fact that we were gonna climb a mountain, and then a glacier, to get to the most secluded Hotel/Restaurant known to man. Don't get me wrong, it was the most, just walking and having fun time, of my life, and it may have just been how hungry I was when i got to the top, but the food was spectacular(not as spectacular at Christens cooking, but still spectacular). the Cabane Vignette is on top of Mount Rosa, where the only way to get to it is by climbing the better part of the mountain, then one of two glaciers, or by helicopter. The hotel is self sufficient for water (from the glacier) and power (from the solar panels), but they have to fly in food.

Anywany, I had a ton of fun, and before I show you guys pictures, I want to say two quick messages.

To Mike: thank you for calling me a wuss whenever I wore a coat above freezing for the better part of my childhood. I'm serious, when we were climbing, i was aclimated to the cold, and when other people were wearing coats, Ijust wore a t-shirt, and I felt pretty awesome. Thanks for the helpful peer pressure bro!

To Ms. Cooper: I'm not trying to be a jerk, but during the first couple days of class you should focus on getting kids to memorize important phrases like, "I know we are on top of a glacier, with no bathroom in 20 miles, but I really need to go. so, if you and your family could just look away for a minuet, it'd be great" in french. No, but all joking aside, I knew how to say "May I use the restroom", and "where is the restroom", but not "I need to use the facilitree". I'ts just a thought for a more practical class.

Anyways, our trip ended up being two glaciers, one mountain, and 28km(11miles)
