Mont Blanc

Monte Bianco was next on our tour of the Val d'Aosta. Of course, when we got close, clouds were starting to form on the summit! Bummer! Anyway, here it is from afar. We went to this beautiful little town called Courmayeur. In Courmayeur, the Mountain basically looks like a giant granite wall (with lots of snow on it) rising up to the heavens. It was really breathtaking! We found out from Chiara's uncle Marco that we should go to a little place near Courmayeur called Lago Miage. We tried the first day we were there, but as it was a Sunday, there were throngs of people, so we decided to go back the next morning. Boy were we glad we did it (see following pics)! It was beautiful.
