Charming CHAMONIX

Chamonix was supposed to be merely a stop on our way to Garmisch, and I’m so glad we stopped there!  Our hotel was absolutely amazing and the views were breathtaking! It reminded me a lot of Park City with the mountains as the backdrop of a cute little town.  I spent WAY too much on a burger that was pretty decent.  For dinner I actually had a great burger for much less. 

For anyone that knows me, knows I struggle with hiking.  I have asthma and elevation combined with exercise usually poses a problem for me.  I decided to go for it yesterday though.  We were told it would be an easy hike, 45 minutes up and 30 to come down with a beautiful waterfall at the end.  Though the hike was a lot harder than I expected (very steep in most places) but the waterfall was absolutely beautiful! I would have never guessed a gorgeous waterfall would be sitting in France.  The hike took up a large chunk of the day and we merely walked around the small city until returning to the hotel because it got cold.  I thoroughly enjoyed the day there though.  If I had to live anywhere in France, it would probably be there.

We will be returning to France later in the month so you’ll get another taste of it later. J

Au revoir!
