- May 5th, 1961
- Hotel Alba, Geneva, Switzerland
- Raining hard in am, Hot sunny after 10:30
Today was a big day. Had breakfast early and we were half inclined to cancel our trip to Chamonix as it was raining very hard.
However, they told us it might clean so we took a chance on the weather which turned out to be very good. The bus got us to Chamonix about 10:30 am by which time the sun was shining brightly. The magnificence of the mountain ranges defies description. Took the cable car (highest cable car in the world) up the glacier to Mont Blanc. Snow everywhere on the mountain tops and a hotly shining sun made quite a contrast. Had dinner at the Hotel Mont Blanc and wandered about the little town buying cards and writing and posting them. I am sure we got some wonderful pictures.
