Ahh...Chamonix

Hello from the beautiful French Alps!

I have alot of blogging to catch up on, including our day at Versaille and our time in Lyon. Both were great! I am sitting in a cute internet cafe in Chamonix and I wanted to let you know what we are doing currently before I back track.

Chamonix is probably one of the coolest places we have ever been! It is the site of the first ever Winter Olympics and home to the highest peak in Europe- Mont Blanc. We arrived here on Sunday evening and have so enjoyed our time soaking in this small town. It is such a welcome change of pace from everything we have done so far.

We are very close to the Swiss and Italian borders and so Chamonix is a unique mix of cultures. We have discovered Macaroons and they are heavenly! We also tried the cheese fondue, something the area is known for.

The first picture is a view of the river that runs all through town and the last picture is the view from our room the first night- unbelievable!! That is a glacier you see in the picture and the top of the mountain is covered by clouds.

Thanks for checking in on us! We are having a fabulous time!

Next stop- Italy!
