Yes, I went skiing and had enough snow and wonderful sunshine almost everyday. Except for the time when we had to drive near Geneva, then the raindrops appeared. Drove through the beautiful city of Annecy (click for information and also for an informative map, I am very fond of maps because I am lost without one!)

Annecy is a city on the shores of Lake Annecy, 22 miles south of Geneva. A lovely place with a huge park and small bridges. Loved to see the mountains from this perspective and still showing some snow..jpg)
I got to visit a dear (I don't say "old" anymore!) friend from college and we were too busy chatting away we almost forgot to take pictures. I asked Mr Mar to take one of the two "college ladies" and he did too but he pushed the wrong button so I have a short video instead, but only like 3 seconds!! My friend lives in a small , beautiful and quiet village. We went out for breakfast (cafe au lait and a croissant!) and had a nice walk afterwards... .jpg)
I thought it was all so pretty , took a pic , and then I saw a nasty graffiti on a planter box. Oh, well, such is life. So I went around and took the above picture from the other side ! And then we left the cloudy days and went back to the mountains for more skiing and sunshine! To the 3 Valleys (French Alps)

Great photos, Mar. That village and the planters are so charming (even if there was graffiti). I am glad you are back from your wonderful vacation.
