We had a spectacular dinner last night at le Miroir d'Argentine, a restaurant up in the mountains at Solalex (about a 15 minute drive from Nicole and Ahriel's house). This is a "refuge" where they have meals and also rent rooms to hikers. The Miroir is a fancy restaurant and the regular refuge across the parking lot also has a more traditional fondue and beer restaurant.
We had all three of the main courses at our table (smoked chicken, veal, and venison) and I can say that all of them were delicious. The desserts were also fantastic. Wish you could have been here...
...especially for the drive home through the thick fog with visibility of about 20 feet (and sometimes much less!) on the twisty narrow mountain road with no center line... We spotted a fox running ahead of us (we were going so slowly that it easily outdistanced our headlights) and a small mouse that stopped in the center of the road and required a slow speed swerve on our part. Ahriel did a great job driving!
Today, with the rain, I'm not sure what the plan will be. Maybe a re-packing day in anticipation of leaving for Geneva tomorrow and our flight home on Tuesday. Or maybe another train adventure... We'll see...
