FORLORN ON THE 4TH OF JULY
MISS YA USA, BUT NOT ENOUGH TO BRAVE THE HEAT

Annecy is know as the Venice of France due to its beautiful canals
Happy 4th of July, America! We are celebrating it in the country that claims to have invented democracy, diplomacy, and really tasty yet stinky cheese. That’s right, we are in FRANCE.

Nonstop gorgeous views along the lake promanade
To escape the heat we’ve headed north to the Alps and will be spending the next several days roaming around cooling Alpine lakes. AHHH, can you feel the breeze?

A truck broke down in the tunnel between Italy and France causing traffic to stack up. Our tiny FIAT, named 'Ippy' is dwarfed by the 18 wheelers waiting for the tunnel to reopen.

French guys behaving, well, like French guys.

This guy was getting way to much help with his Chapeau

The chateau rises majestically over the lake and town - lovely!
