Hi folks! It’s been a bit since our last update, and Spring is now in the air! We’ve been staying active here in Geneva, enjoying the lake, the weekend farmer’s markets and continuing with our weekly French lessons, which have been going well. At the beginning of April we also made an all-to-brief trip back to Chicago for a week to run lots of errands and catch up with friends and family. Unfortunately, a week just isn’t enough time to see everyone and we were a bit sorry to have to go!

Last Saturday we took the Geneva Coach Station bus south over the Swiss border into France and visited the charming city of Annecy (map) for the day. With it’s many canals, storybook castle, flower-filled parks and a pristine lake surrounded by mountains, it’s easy to see why people fall in love with Annecy. While there, we enjoyed walking throughout the old town, taking a scenic boat tour on the lake, relaxing in the park and enjoying some of the local delicacies (we had some of the best crepes of our lives at a little Creperie we found.. check the pics!).
