I am looking forward to the next couple of weeks, as we have our first round of visitors coming to France! A few of David's colleagues were in town this past week, including Trey and his wife Joy who live near around the corner from us in Austin. The girls know Joy well, so we were all excited to spend two days this past week sightseeing with her. My favorite day by far was last Thursday, when David took the day off from work so that Joy and I could go by ourselves to Annecy, an hour drive away. We've been told that Annecy is the "French Venice" because of the canals that run through the city.
While Joy and I did visit the tourist hotspots (Le Palais de l'Isle and Le Château d'Annecy), we spent most of our time shopping. I brought very few clothes with me to France and needed to get a few things, so Joy and I enjoyed finding some bargains. It was a much more relaxing day than the day before with the girls, and it was nice spending the day with someone who speaks English!! When we got home that night, David teased us because he discovered that it was "Women's Day" (whatever that is?!?), so we celebrated it in style with a full day of shopping and gabbing! :)
