Yesterday, I took advantage of the sunshine (see, told you I don't trust the weather reports) and went on a walk to Switzerland. I had been told by friends how pretty the little towns just across the border were, and I can't believe I've waited all this time to actually see it for myself.
[My 'hood.]
It was really cool to look at Thoiry, Fenieres and St. Jean de Gonville from afar, as well as to spend the afternoon walking through the vineyards...
I love how on the various hiking routes here there are often signs letting you know about how long it should take you to walk to surrounding towns.

And on the whole walk, I saw nothing but blue skies...
...some sheep...
...and vineyards.
Not a bad way to start off the weekend.
A la prochain friends...
The countryside and weather looks very beautiful! Very cool to be able to stand one foot in Switzerland and one foot in France. I don't suppose you had to pass any passport control out there in the country.
ReplyDeleteI did actually have my passport on me bc you never know when douane will be there. I've been checked about 2 times since we moved here last February, but it was always on buses. You never know, so I typically carry it when crossing over...When I go to CERN there are always douane out, but I've never been checked (though I know people who were turned away from the border/going to work bc they forgot their pass that day)...
ReplyDeletedefinitely not a bad way to start off the weekend :) the countryside looks stunning.
