Catching up

The heat has been a bit overwhelming making me not want to sit at the computer and type.  So here is  a bit of labored catching up from the weekend.  Saturday was a wash as Jon spent the whole day trying to equip us with wifi...still no wifi unfortunately.  But Sunday completely made up for it as we made our way a little over an hour North to a town called Annecy.  Known for it's crystal clear lake made up of glacier run off and a little over 8 miles long.  We walked all along the lake on one side before taking an hour long boat ride out onto the lake to view the city from the water.  Amazing amazing views.  I can't believe people live along this lake and enjoy that blue view all year long.  Just stunning.  Of course another favorite part for me was the hundreds of jumpers we saw with their colorful parachutes.  There was also a beautiful castle built right in the middle of the lake that was stunning.

We then wandered into town for some lunch and my birthday crepe.  It was yet another beautiful set of cobbled walkways through restaurants and shops galore.  I would say it ranks as my favorite birthday to date. 

Monday Madi and I were so tired we slept most of the day and the heat rising up over 100 was torture.  Today we took Jon to work and went straight to la plage.  A beach on Lake Terrasse just a few minutes from Jon's work.  4 hours of skipping rocks and swimming we were well tanned and a bit burnt.  We hear there are a couple days left of this high heat so Jon and Madi have run to get a fan to try to ease it a bit.

The rest of the week will likely be quiet and close to home and this weekend we are heading for Switzerland!  Pics should be wonderful...stay tuned
