This summer's home tour featured a two-week visit from Monsieur Olivier, the first of our grenoblois friends to leave the Alps for the greener hills of the Northeast. His Franklin The Turtle honed English allowed him to integrate seamlessly into our world of family and friends, and his incredible laybacking skills allowed him to surmount even the most splitter of cracks...
