The only evening it rained we decided to go out for pizza at a little restaurant in Menthon Saint-Bernard. Meghan ordered the jambon and fromage pizza. She was pretty enthusiastic about the cow pizza she recieved. The French even present their pizzas in style.
Carl from Belgium camped next to us in the small town of Doussard south of Annecy. The campsites closer to the larger city of Annecy were very crowded and noisy so we continued to the south end of the lake until we found a nice quiet campground with a pool. Carl used the campground as his base and traveled 100-200 miles a day sightseeing this area. He said his wife didn't like the mountains so she stayed home. Meghan liked the bear on the front of his 60's BMW motorcycle.
Stopping for a family photo along one of our walks.
We really enjoyed meeting people from other countries and the de Bok family were so much fun. They are from Holland and we may bike there in the fall and visit them. Their chairs were falling apart so the two girls had fun writing on them and cutting them up before they left for home. Since we shipped all of our things over we tried to limit what we brought due to limited storage, opting to leave our chairs at home. They received much harrassing from the Garriott's for not leaving their chairs for us.
Our campsite was just underneath these "tres bien" mountains. Nice view to wake up to!
