We got here yesterday, some 280 miles in under 7 hours running time. This afternoon ran over to this place, Vernet les Bains, & the photo gives you a good idea of this country side. [sic] I’ve been up to 6000 ft twice today, first time in an open jeep, with borrowed flying clothing. Second time in our Citroen, closed and warm. There is snow on the tops – the little fellow at the back is Canigou, 9000 ft. On to Toulouse tomorrow.
Love,
