Lee and I spent the day Wednesday in Annecy, which is the "Venice of Savoie" with its canals and remarkable landscapes. Annecy lies on the shores of Lac d'Annecy, water and mountains blending to form beautiful views. The site was occupied as far back as prehistoric times and the town developed around its castle from the 12th century onwards under the name of Annecy-le-Neuf. Lee and I explored old town and had a wonderful lunch of filet de perche, fish caught in Lake Geneva. We also sampled a chardonnay de Savoie. Lee continued to sample the glace (ice cream) in Annecy by sampling caramel and strawberry - incroyable! The Annéciens seem to understand the art of living well.
Sally, in New Orleans, where I spent much of my youth, they have a saying, "Laissez le Bon temp rouler". It appears you and Lee are embracing that philosophy! Have fun,
