My Weekend

This weekend I went to Annecy and was able to take some great pictures! I've attached them in a new album. I went to a castle, rode around on the lake, and had some great Gelato! Annecy is a small, expensive, and beautiful town! The pictures of the canals especially was great, they call it the Venice of the Savoie region. It is old, old, old, and therefore very beautiful! I had great food, and the atmosphere was better than any words can describe. Walking where others did hundreds of years ago was inspiring and refreshing. I took in every moment, and relished in the culture surrounding me.

That night, Saturday night, I went to the music festival in Chambery. This festival takes place in every city all over France for one night. You walk around the city and take in all the beautiful music and enjoy life with those around you. Before the festival, we had dinner with one of our professors at a great French restaurant. I had the penne pasta with a light tomato sauce and slices of ham. It was to die for! I then got desert that was almost too beautiful to eat. It was a chocolate mousse, berries and cream, a lemon dish, and dark chocolate. The picuture shows how beautiful it was. We then walked around the city and enjoyed the music and atmosphere.

This next week is full of lecture and visits to local companies......then I go to Bern....stay posted, good pictures to come....
