Our Fourth Escapade or Adventure

J and I try and have four adventures a year. It could be as simple as a night in a château not far from home or something that involves an airplane or train.

This year we did Malta, Toulouse and Stuttgart. Our fourth and final is just going to the chalet.

We stopped in Martigny for lunch before climbing the mountain.

When there was no room for us at the restaurant serving rosti (sorta like hash browns) we went to the Steak Restaurant. Were we glad the first restaurant was turned us away.

The decor had distinct American overtones as it celebrated Route 66. The walls had license plate decorations including from Quebec, Kansas, Utah and Oklahoma. Yes, I know, some of those places are NOT on Route 66.

 

 The meal was definitely Swiss with cerf from the hunt, spazeli, roasted chestnuts and simmered pears. The sauce was wanting-to-lick-your-plate good.

It was even fun to see the art work of old gas pumps outside the ladies room.

 How good it was too look out the kitchen window again when we arrived.

The snow arrived yesterday. On Tuesday, these mountains were bare.

I don't see how life can get much better. 

Time to start planning next year's Big Four.
