Road Trip! We went off to France. We drove down the south west side of Lake Geneva and just across the boarder to a town called Annecy. Once we found the old part of the town we had lunch and walk around on the little cozy streets. They are full of old stone buildings all close together and the river/canal on the other side of the side walk. We toured the “Palace on the River” which is a prison built in the middle of the river with little arched bridges going to it. It was used for a jail at one time and the cells are still there with heavy wooden doors and large rough metal hinges and door knobs. We really enjoyed it.

We then drove back towards home and stopped in Geneva for a swim in the lake, to look around and have dinner. I tried to find a store that I once went to with only hand made Christmas ornaments but no luck. Graham was really, really disappointed... He did however take us down a road that was for only the trams…..it was quite funny. Fortunately for us (and the Lenoir’s car) there were not tram’s running at that time. We cooled off in the lake, saw the big fountain (Jet d’Eau), then walked around and stopped for a great dinner at Pizza Molino. Home by about 9:00…
