A Visit to Annecy

Friday of last week, I went to sleep over at the house Adriana (a Mexican girl living in Annecy). So I spent Friday and Saturday in Annecy! I love Annecy, it's gorgeous. It's right on a huge lake and there are tons on things to do. Also, the train station is right in the middle of town, which is incredibly convenient. Going there meant that I took the train for the first time in Europe. I went to the station to buy my ticket, waited for the train (it was actually a bus on the way there, and a train on the way back), and got to Annecy with no problems! I got to see a lot of the other exchange students in Annecy. It was a lot of fun and nice little vacation.

At the chain Chez Barnabé, where you can choose in between all these different kinds of cookies (chocolate chip, Snickers, caramel, double chocolate, butter cookie) and brownies and tarts too. I chose an ourson cookie. I'm not sure what it was but it had chocolate chips and then more chocolate and caramel and marshmallow stuff on top. After you buy the cookie, you put it in the microwave so it gets gooey!

More halloween!

Annecy has lots of canals, and swans everywhere.

Sushi for lunch on Saturday. There's Roxy from Ecuador on the left and Adriana on the right. It was the first time Roxy had tried sushi. She didn't really like it... So it's good we got rice and teriyaki too!

Adriana and Borinya from Thailand (who loves sushi).

 

 

Other than that, on Monday I spent the day in Lyon but I can't find the memory card with my pictures on it, so those are on the way because I know when I stop looking for it, it'll pop up... Now it's back to school and studying. I have a paper to write on the philosophy topic: "Am I responsible for the acts which I do unconsciously (e.g. things done while sleep walking)?" So... yeah. Haven't started that one yet and it's due Wednesday. But, I have all day tomorrow and on Tuesday I probably won't start school until 10! More photos to come with my other memory card.
