Annecy, Savoy

Retreat!! Retreat to the alps!!

Bridget and I decided that it was just too darned hot in France... and since we're likely to experience much worse in Italy, we decided to escape the heat for a week or so by going up up up!!

So here is our first stop of Annecy, a lovely little town in the foothills of the French Alps.

Here's the Idyllic veiw down onto the Old Town, from the Hotel du Chateaux, where we stayed

Me, in front of the fabulous Lac d'Annecy

We took advantage of this highly cultural experience to better edify ourselves. Here's a sampling of the means by which we improved our minds:

Bridget eats some French ice cream at a French beach, highly cultural...

We take strange and educational French bikes out on a long ride along the lac d'Annecy:
