Geneva and Annecy

We were so excited to get to Geneva and see a familiar face. Spencer's mission companion, David Folley, was there to pick us up and take us back to his house. It was so nice to be in a car again and not have to walk with our big packs. We just chilled for a little while and talked. We were all getting a little hungry and decided to go to one of David's favorite Italian places. Spencer tried a pizza with an egg on it. I guess they used to get it when they were serving together. After we were done eating we headed to the Lake. It was very rainy, but I got to see the Jet d'Eau. It was one of the tallest man made foundations.

Geneva is famous for the watches that they sell. David said 

there are watches that sell for over $10,000 dollars. Who

has that kind of money? This clock actually works.

We went to the top of the mountain to see the highest mountain in
France, Mont Blanc, but the weather had other plans. It was cool to
see the storm come over the top of the mountain though.

The next day we headed to a mid evil town near Geneva. The streets were so small and everything was left the way it was when it was built. There was lots of cute little shops and houses to see. 

We even stopped at a candy shop and got some yummy

gummy treats. 

Then we were off to Annecy, France. We were looking at places to visit before we left. While I was pinning some pins on pinterest  I came across the town of Annecy and it was close to where we were going to be. I love all the small towns that we saw, but this was for sure one of my favorites.

The Bridge of Love

For some reason all the boats had water in them. Maybe it was because

it was raining so much! 

Lake Annecy is know for the clean water. If you look close you can 

see the swan's feet. You could see all the way to the bottom of the Lake 

no matter where we were. 

This thing in the middle used to be a prison. Now it is just used as

a place to eat and a good tourist attraction. 

The crooked door. I think it is just a little old.

That night we went to another one of the Folley family's favorite Italian places to eat.They are so funny to talk to. There is always some kind of joke going around. My favorite game that they play is the X game. The goal is to never talk to strangers. If you do everyone at the table can give you a big X, then if you get touched my someone you don't know then you get a O. It can make for some pretty awkward times when no one says anything and someone is asking for help. His mom usually ends up losing and saying something to the stranger because she can't handle it. They were so sweet to let us stay with them for three nights. It was definitely  one of the highlights of our trips. It was so nice to have someone that knew the sights and show us where we need to go. 

We had to go to the jet one more time before we left. This time I was going to get as close as I could. Yes it was still very cold from the rain all day and yes we got very wet. The boys all chickened out and Whitney and I ventured on until we got right next to it. 

We were sad to leave spot number three, but were excited to see what the

 rest of the trip had in store for us. We were hoping more sunshine. 

Goodbye David, Thanks for all your help!
