Around Lake Geneva (Lausanne, Montreux, and Evian)







For our time in Geneva we hired a Fiat Sedici to drive us around. With Marisa's constant reminder of "keep to the right!" we made progress in driving around Lake Geneva. 

We were blessed with beautiful weather for us to take full advantage of the French Riviera-esque mansions/chateaus overlooking the Alps. Each time we drove around a bend, we were once more enthralled with what seemed like the next frame of a movie. 

Chamonix/Mont Blanc - Part 2




After the days skiing and with Marisa barely able to walk, we decided to tuck into some proper French grub. Escargot, French Onion Soup, Fromage. 

I know that I should not be eating so full, but it just tastes too good to waste. Hmm, I wonder when I can get some running shoes to work some of this off.

Chamonix/Mont Blanc - Part 1







Chamonix/Mont Blanc is the most beautiful and scenic place in the world! 


As we travel once more up the ski-lift, you take a deep breath and allow yourself to be immersed into the absolute grandeur of the Swiss and French alps around you.

Pie or Muffin anyone?



While in London, I must say Marisa's cooking has definitely excelled! Anyone for a pie or apple muffin? hehe

Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas



As we near Christmas, all the festivities are starting up here in London. The sales, the music, the fun! We cannot wait until we jet off for our Christmas holidays in the French Alps!

Viva La France!









Yes, we finally visited the land of cheese, croissants, onion, and baguettes!

It was an amazing city that we definitely did not get enough of. Even though we did have a cheese overdose.. it was still oh so good!

Apart from the wofts of fromage in the cold Parisian air, there was the air of culture and love that was infectious even for the weekend that we were there. 

We will be seeing you again Paris!
