492 and a new brother, Steve Pechman!

So you meet a great guy from the Bronx, and you enjoy the parallel paths life has taken you on... then you discover shared love for hiking,  travel,  food,  wine,  wine glasses and great conversation... and bang.. you've got a new brother!
Our anniversary meal was very special.. the food,  the surroundings,  the wine and especially the company.
Steve is a serious hiker and awesome person! 


Hand carried Barolo glasses to enjoy a Barolo and an Amarone...
Glasses matter! 

The food,  over the 3 1/2 hour meal was splendid.
Love the sprout variety...
Well loved cheese and ham crepes! 



Breaded trout with panko and shaved peas...

Peggy loved her ravioli...

My fresh trout was awesome.

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?
