Montgenèvre (2)

24 August 2015:  I spent today in Montgenèvre with Marie and Didier.  The weather – almost continuous rain and fog – made this a rest day.  Had the weather been good, we would surely have gone for a hike somewhere.

The quiet time in the apartment proved to be useful to me:  Yesterday, I was unable to upload a blog post that included pictures.  Each time that I tried to do so, the process stopped with a message: "Publishing Error 403.  Try again later."  That was a bad joke:  Every time that I tried again later, I got the same error message.  I spent several hours this morning trying to sort out this problem.  I became frustrated, imagining how boring this blog would be without photos.  Finally, I resolved the problem by updating the operating system on my telephone.  So all's well.  There are not many pictures in today's post.  That will change when I return to the trail tomorrow.
