Andy and Tiana had never been to Italy so they took the train over to Torino for a couple of days. We decided to get out of town, too, so we took a day trip to Annecy, about two hours away by train. Annecy is a beautiful medieval town on the shore of Lake Annecy at the base of the French Alps, not far from Geneva, Switzerland. The old town is bisected by a swift, clear Alpine stream and the old buildings are quaint and interesting. We enjoyed strolling around town and having an outdoor lunch at a cafe next to the stream.
Charlie participated in a common French custom, stepping in dog poop. But, France being France, there was also a lovely fountain nearby to wash it all away. He smelled fine on the train trip back to Lyon.
