| June 2003 Check Chamonix Meteo site for updates to the local weather. Skiing has ended, and it was a pretty good season, with lots of snow in February. Melted too early as far as we were concerned. Robert is working at home for the summer, doing tiling and re-doing the kitchen in our apartment. Click the link to track our progress. Kobi celebrated his first birthday on May 16th. Updated photos are HERE. We didn't ski-tour as much as we'd hoped to last season, mostly due to Robert's illness. But he is doing OK now, on dialysis, which does suck a bit. We can travel anywhere in France quite easily, but getting to other places involves much more arranging due to the cost of the procedure, and whether or not the health care is re-imbursable under the system. We are off to the beach in Cassis for a week in mid-June. There is rock climbing there on the Calanques, which are limestone tower formations at the seaside. It will be hot, so likely we will divide out time between early AM climbing and mid-afternoon lounging! Rob's parents will be visiting us in mid-June, Robin and Alison and their boys will visit in August. We will then join them for a week in Tuscany near Florence. Much progress has been made on our attempt to purchase another place . The mortgage has been approved and we will start a search for renters and roommates as soon as we sign the paperwork on the loan. We hope to be signing by September 1st. The chalet is currently called Chalet Jacques. We may rename it,. The UK owners have misspelled it as Chalet Jaques in their web advertising (it was run as a catered chalet and B&B for English tourists previously).
