Wishing everyone a Happy New Year and best wishes in 2017!

Since we are staying less than an hour away from Italy, we decided to drive to the nearest town of Courmayeur, Italy, for the day. Courmayeur is an Alpine resort in northwest Italy, at the foot of Mont Blanc and seems to host quite a few posh tourists. Hubby went skiing (better snow here than on the France side at Chamonix) while I enjoyed some local sightseeing and taking photos. 

It also was a delicious daytrip eating some hearty Italian Alps food. And of course, the Italian pistachio gelato was to die for! I highly recommend having lunch at Le Vieux Pommier where our hearty 3-course lunch was less than 20 euros.

Here are a few photos from today's adventure. Ciao!
