As always in the last few years, my friends and I headed
for Courmayeur for the Stars on Ice show... a fixed appointment for us!
We were happy to see some skating in the boring summer, and it was always
a pleasant excuse for a daytrip at the mountains and for a meeting with
our friend Lidia from torino.
The ritual is always the same: we get there early, have
a walk around town (it doens't take much!!), something hot or cold to
drink (depending on the weather) and then we head back to the rink to
wait for the athletes, get in to see the practices and then it's showtime!
this year we had an extra bit of time, so we headed upstairs to the café
with Barbara for a chat before their practice session. As always, I am
the paler one f the group
(though Manu is coming closer)!
as said, one of the luxuries we are always granted in Courmayeur
is to be able to get in and watch the practice session (which can be even
more fun than the shw itself, if the occasion is right!) 99% of the photos
here are from Barbara and Maurizio, because I orginally got them for their
official website
