On Saturday we drove toward our next destination, Annecy. After finding it impossible to buy ice for the cooler, we stopped along the way and bought an electric cooler. The last campsite gave us ice from the restaurant, which was interesting communicating our needs since no one spoke English. The dictionary has become our best friend. After a long day of driving we decided to stop around 7 p.m. in a very small town of 1200 people. We knew from the camping book Poncin had a campground, but wasn't sure where. Stopping at the local bakery, they drew us a map on how to get there since again they did not speak English and our French is limited. Luckily camping is the same word in French.
Yes this is a road for cars, very small cars! Click on to enlarge and check out their street lights. Wouldn't they look great in Irvington?
Just can't resist taking pictures of their beautiful flowers. Actually this picture was taken the day before on our bike ride.
Meghan is trying her best to look "Jeek" as they say in France. We call it the geek look. Everywhere you go you see "men of age" wearing these travel vests. Meghan started counting how many she could see in a day. So far she has seen 14 in one day at the market. By the way, Dave had this vest before we came to France. Little did he know he'd be in style. We are thinking of getting him a few more in different colors.
How did a huge church like this get built in such a small village? Meghan and I walked to town and tried to find out when the services were but there was no sign or information listed. We stopped on the way out of town to take this picture and the door was open but we did not see anyone.
As we left Poncin which was is nestled in a valley along the Ain River, we took this picture looking back at the town. On our way to the Rhone Alps!
