Busy weekend for Chana

October is here, and the weather has been just lovely. Chana was groomed for the first time on Friday, and she is giving pretty eyes to everyone who passes her by.

On Saturday, we brought her along with us shopping for some (human) clothes, coffee break, and dinner at "La Ferme à Dédé." This restaurant specializes in the regional food (Dauphiné and Savoy regions). I had ravioles dauphinois, which are miniature version of raviolis filled with cheese. Nathan had Andouillette, sausages which contains a lot of things. They were both delicious and the atmosphere was great. Chana lay under our table well behaved. We would like to go back and try "tête de veau" next time.

After spending a day in the civilization, we were craving for some fresh air. On Sunday, we headed to the Vercors, the mountain which lays on the east side of Grenoble. We took a bus for one hour, and found ourselves in a small village called "Villard-de-Lans." It kind of resembled Karuizawa, Nagano or Jasper, Alberta. From the village, we headed toward Le Vallon de la Fauge, a former glacier valley. We did not make it to the peak of the mountains, but we got to see some happy cows. Chana loved hiking, but not so much the bus ride. I hope the passengers enjoyed her singing.
