International Women's Day

Women breaking bread and connecting : La Petit Tanière, FR

We've only been home a few days, but friend Denise sent an email today to see if we were interested in going on a full moon snowshoeing event in celebration of International Women's Day. I said "Yes!", put on my warmest clothes, packed up my camera, and joined 20 women trekking through the snow in the Jura Mountains. We stopped at a buvette/farmhouse in La Petit Tanière for a fabulous dinner of Mont d'Or cheese with onions on potatoes, local sausages, and bread. Really yummy! The event was organized by Charlaine Jannerfeldt of SHEzone and was a lot of fun. It was a great way to celebrate the day.

...and mine, too. Erik and Christy invited us to go snowshoeing with them the last weekend friend Irene was in town. This was Caffrey's first time out and we all had a blast! I think I've found a winter activity I could enjoy.
