We made it to Peronne! The day after we arrived we went to Chamonix. We stayed in a nice hotel and got back this afternoon. We hiked and went up the lift and had dinner at a nice little French restaurant. Here are some pictures. It was amazing!!
My mom was almost named Chamonix so it was neat to get to go. Genevieve is so nice and generous to take us. She is very full of energy and so much fun to be around! Chloe, her daughter is amazing too. They both speak great English and Chloe is very nice and fun to talk to.
The hike was kind of hard but so worth it! You could see the Mer de glace and Les Drus and other mountains. We had a delicious picnic at the top. I just love picnics. I don't know if it's the Sound of Music nostalgia or simply the yumminess and charm, but man I just love them!
The restaurant was so cute and nice. We had a delish tomato soup with bread with this olive spread and a cooked banana with kiwi, grapefruit, oranges and other fruit that was heavenly. The entree was a cheesy bread type thing that was good but too greasy and big for me. None of us got close to finishing it.
The next day we were a little tired but ready to go up in the "eggs" as Genevieve called them, or the lift. (We stopped at a bakery for breakfast and I got the yummiest pain au chocolat I've ever had! ) Going up was kind of scary, but so gorgeous. We watched the paragliders and looked at the view and had another delicious picnic. The fresh nectarines we had were so incredibly good, Ruby and I agreed that that is what the fruit from the tree of life tasted like, except with a Lindt chocolate instead of a pit :)
I loved every minute and just stared in awe at the beauty of the mountains.

Oh! My! Gosh! So beautiful! I love the tree of life comment. You're probably right. Tee hee.
