Annecy and Preparation for Adventure.

Well, since last blog I have gone on our surprise field trip. We went to Annecy, I love that town, its really beautiful. Its a really old-fashioned city with beautiful everything. I honestly don't think there is a way to look at it where it isn't absolutely stunning. There are so many old houses and buildings filled with boutiques and pastry shops. There is a chateau on a hill overlooking the city and there is a beautifully blue lake right by the city which on top of all that is of course surrounded by mountains. I liked it so much I already went back and even on a rainy day its still amazing. The second time was on a sunday and there were open air markets set up all throughout the town. I must have tried 10 different types of cheeses I only wish I could have justified buying a massive wheel of tomme. But maybe someday I can find a reason.

Let's see, what else. Honestly besides the random trip to Annecy there isn't a lot of stuff going on here. But there is a reason for that. For the past week most of the IFLE students here are just sitting around waiting and being bored. And the reason for that is that we are leaving for Paris tomorrow! I can't wait to see this place, its hard to think I have been in France for 5 weeks or so and have still not been to Paris. After that we get another vacation for another week too. A few other friends and I will be going to Bruges Belgium, Back to Paris, Dublin Ireland, and then to London England before coming back to school. With lots of activities that will be happening in each country. But that will all be discussed by Future Derek in the next blog.

I fear this blog has been overly brief, but thats because I have a lot of packing to do and by a lot of packing I mean decide which four shirts and three pairs of pants are best for the next two weeks of travelling. But no worries there... I'm here to see the world and the goal is being achieved.
