Rest day in Modane

A nice hotel in Modane!! Hitherto unsuspected!! We stayed in the Hotel du Commerce and... it was modern, clean, very friendly owners, great breakfast, rooms not large but large enough, great showers... well, perhaps I shouldn't oversell, but in comparison with the other hotels "we" (i.e., those of us on the H2H) stayed in in Modane, this was great.

Otherwise, a typical rest day: laundry, a couple of errands (including buying some rubber glue to try to keep my boot together -- the local sports store not having any wide-toed hiking boots), some Carcassonne, arrivals (of Ioana and Sofia), naps, various calls and emails, and a conference call.

One piece of good news: the weather forecast for tomorrow has improved... looks like there will be no thunderstorms or wind, and only a possibility of late-afternoon showers. We still plan to leave shortly after 7AM, however -- better safe than sorry.
