Annecy

it all started when a friend of mine told me he was going to Annecy - by train. i thought that was ridiculous. and the weather being good and all, thought we could go by car. asked a friend if she'd join us, and next thing i know there's 7 of us going. so off we went in 2 cars.

after a quick tour of the gorgeous old town (3 people had never been there, so it was an important cultural stop), we split into 2 groups: the shopping one and the swimming one. the water was gorgeous, warm and clear (as someone said, it doesn't look like a lake at all!). the shopping group eventually joined us, and after having been there a good 5 hours (in town, i mean), we finally headed back home.

it was a great day out, and i was going to post a picture with this, but for some reason, it refuses to upload... you'll just have to imagine the beauty of a small town surrounded by Alpine moutains and looking at a clear lake.
