Annette & Michel,
Between 2 hikes I hope you will take the time to read this email.
You sell dream so well that I wonder if you could not be a magician and a magician.
This hike was for me (and without going forward, not only for me) out of the ordinary.
You may not have this recoil or the time to realize it but it’s really fantastic, unreal. A human and chivalrous adventure that goes far beyond our daily lives. It can become a drug!
As Mireille said, it’s engraved for life.
I’m still in …
Thank you simply
