I celebrated my birthday this past week and so we enjoyed a little exploring adventure to a neighboring town, that is only about a 45 minute drive from where we live. It's to the beautiful town of Annecy. They call it the "Venice of France" because there are streets of water and little canals down several little areas. It is a beautiful town nestled into the Alpes Region with Lake Annecy at the foot of the mountains. (Often I say to myself... I can't believe we live here!!) Now, please remember, it's not all beautiful all the time... and when I walk out my door, I have to speak (or at least try to) speak a language that is (still) foreign to me and meet and live with people whose customs are different than my own! So, while this may seem picture perfect ... there are still day in and day out struggles here too! ;-)
We started off the day with a carosel ride and then ventured back into an art show that was going on. Then we stumbled upon some people selling antiques (I think they were)... but we saw lots of cool things! We heard lots of French and are learning more and more daily about the culture, customs and people of our new home. Stephen surprised me with a new camera for my birthday, so I'm enjoying "trying it out" and taking lots of different things... bare with my photo taking!!! And, just let us know when you want to visit!!! ;-)
Beautiful canals...
