Ah, France.
We arrived via London and Geneva on Monday.  I took a quarter of a Dramamine and another quarter on the plane, to make sure it wouldn't wear off.  No sickness, but general weirdness from the side effects.  Did not sleep well on the plane.

We are staying with our lovely friends and hosts in their beautiful town of Talloires along Lake Annecy.  We are blessed with a wonderful place to stay, and the town and surrounding area is charming and visually breath-taking, and thankfully during this time of year, not rife with tourists.

On the morning of our first full day we checked out the cascades/frozen waterfall near the house.  Quite a hike, but well-worth the huffing and puffing.  Met up with Megan for lunch in Annecy and wandered around town.

Lots of fun already.  Check out the pics and more to come soon!
