Making Up For Lost Time and Low Cholesterol

Bangladesh to Bermuda via Chamonix and Lausanne - what a difference a month makes!

After being escorted to the Dhaka airport by the police in February and giving my digestive system some time to recover I was once again out of India, this time headed for snowy Alpine peaks.

It was great meeting up with family and friends in Chamonix but almost as good as seeing them was my first real non-Indian meal in months.

My cholesterol was feeling dangerously low so I opted for a croûte montagnarde with a crisp white wine from the Savoie. The combination of bread, cheese, wine and ham was just what I needed to hit the slopes the next day.

Even though everyone in the US was sick of shoveling, I was really missing the snow since I had spent Christmas in Delhi for the first (and last) time. Little did I know how much snow we would get back home in March!
