Oh La La, Picture overload


The picture of Gabriella above explains how we are all feeling! We are loving life in France, but we are so overhwelmed. Life is so different here, let's just say the French do thing their way and when they want to do it. But we are having so much fun. Here are a few pics of what we have been doing.
The picture of above is of a park and castle by our house. It is so nice to visit, the park is huge and the castle is beautiful. Gabriella loves going to feed the swans, they eat right out of your hands!!

This is a fountain downtown Grenoble, it is a beautiful city!

These are pictures of Annecy, France. Which is one of the prettiest citites in the world!

These pics are at our apartment, it is so nice. We lucked out, it is brand new and we love it!
The picture below is in Geneva Switerzland, we didn't stay long, but it was sooo nice. All I have to say about Switerland is that it is expensive. We had to pay 40 euro just to get into the country. They gave us a sticker for our car to use their freeways. Well, we didn't think to keep the sticker since it was a rental car and then we found out that it is good for a year. So now if we want to go back to Switzerland, we'll have to pay 40 euro again. We are learning a lot of things the hard way, but it is a ton of fun!!

I know I am way behind on blogging, we don't have the internet at home yet. They are coming on Monday to install it, and then they said it will take 3 to 21 days before it will work. Who knows with the French, they are crazy. Today we were riding the tram into downtown and the driver came on and said we are done for the morning, you will have to walk the rest of the way. I didn't know that France was on strike today, so my mom, Gabriella and I walked the rest of the 2 miles downtown. You never know what you are going to get when you leave the house here. I guess that's what makes life interesting. I will try to keep updating as best I can, until then a bientot!
