We have arrived at our destination and I must say, I am pleased, this is a beautiful spot and our apartment is bigger and nicer than the one we actually live in. It’s kind of a time share arrangement, each apartment is individually owned but when the owners aren’t present, they are rented out. Due to the fact that there are mountains all around us, and a ski- lift, I’m guessing that it’s more crowded in the winter than the summer, but there are still lots of people here and it doesn’t look like many of them are permanent residents.
The two ends of the rectangular “lake” are JUST outside the frame
The internet connection is fine, so there will be no interruption to this blog, and I have a lovely balcony to sit on while browsing the internet and writing this, looking out over the “lake” and into the forested mountains beyond. I can hear the water rushing out of the lake and on down the hill in the form of a small creek.
I put “lake” in quote marks for a reason. I’m sure all of my American readers of a certain age and above remember the Clampett family referring to their swimming pool as a cement pond. Actually, more like a ceeeement pond. Well, that’s what this is. I laughed when I first saw it and Helena got pissed off at me.
I’m not complaining. It’s all that we need. The water is clean, and cold, and once you get out into the middle you can lie on your back and look at the green mountains all around and it’s as good as any lake anywhere. They even rent rowboats although I think that’s a bit silly in a body of water that you can see all at one glance.
Anyway, it’s real pretty and I’m looking forward to a very relaxing week here. All for now.
p.s. in this photo, we are in the 2nd building from the right, 2nd floor from the top
