We arrived in Geneva, Switzerland 10 days ago and we've been having an amazing time so far! We spent 4 days in Chamonix, France and Ryan did not want to leave. : ) Chamonix is a small town resting at the base of the beautiful Mont Blanc and incredible alps. The town is pristine, complete with brilliant flowers, a sparkling green river, and the most fantastic food we have ever eaten. What a treat is was to be there.
We took a cable car up to Aguille du Midi, the highest cable car in Europe. The cable car takes you straight up the mountain, and then straight up another one, until you reach 12,000 feet and are facing the top of Mont Blanc. We took a train ride along a glacier, and hiked in an even smaller town just up the valley from Chamonix, called Argentinere.
On Monday we took a train to Cinque Terre - spending a few days hiking between the villages on the Mediterranean coast, and swimming in the clear blue water.
To celebrate the 4th of July, we just completed a 12 -mile bike ride through Tuscany, stopping at a winery and for a delicious Italian lunch!
We are so thankful to be here and have a bit of extra time to explore Europe.
I hope you all have a wonderful 4th of July!
