Hisa Franko...2 years later!

Peggy and I were excited to bring Jon and Ann here to enjoy a televised gourmet chef.
Sharing bubbly on our deck at Hisa Franko!

Little did we imagine that the last 3 nights of amazingness .... made eating a huge meal almost impossible for our African Missionary dear friends. They enjoyed the room,  view and pitter patter of the rain,  while Peggy and I toughed it out.  Not sure how we accomplished the task,  but guts and determination pulled us through... again!


Me kinda excited! 
 Joy from their garden...

The 6+ courses with wine pairing. 

Peggy's octopus which I traded out...

Beef 3 ways.. including cheek. 

Delicious dessert, making it all amazing!

    So which beef was the cheek ? And what was the desert ? All looks amazing . . . but you missed out on the octopus ? Would have been chewy!! :)

    Pictured is Gary's menu; mine had beef tongue umami and the octopus cooked in lamb fat, with lamb fat polenta and smoked yogurt. They were both fabulous!
    Although eating here was again magical, and the room very nice, breakfast one of the best, we decided a return visit will not happen (most likely). Turned out to be a VERY expensive side trip!

Heading and Arriving Home!

Alas,  packing and last room views... Good departure timing as Mont Blanc is overcast!  Views still spectacular even with clouds... You all know this feeling.. ciao bella!  Always time for one more gelato! Grom Rules!  And as we finish the 24 hours of travel logistics,  which many of you are overly familiar with..arriving safely home at 10:30 pm, we were treated with a spectacular view ... Great bridges of San Francisco!

492 Reaches Great Heights!

With almost perfect weather,  we knew today would be special with a gondola ride up to Mont Blanc.  49 euros per person ain't nothin as they say, but on the anniversary... nuf said! More oxygen please!  There were 2 stopping points,  a champagne production facility,  playgrounds,  herb gardens, hammocks,  giant telescopes, great restaurants and of course,  killer views. Mont Blanc Why Not!  Everybody's taking photos for everybody!  Nick Colonna's next climb? (There were people at the top)  Toast to a great start of 492! When we returned to our country estate,  it was time to relax! Great foot of the mountain location!  Lovely indoor/outdoor pool with mountain views!  I think she's relaxing!  Not sure everyone here enjoys the beautiful sunshine? What would your caption be?
