The Markets
Friday 13-8-10
We drove around and found a hotel situated by the lake; it was new and had a room with a balcony overlooking Lake Annecy. We considered a swim, but being used to a warmer climate we again declined, which was a mistake as the next day the weather turned cold and rained. Annecy is a holiday destination for families mostly, different from Monaco, the people are friendly, helpful and there is not a Ferrari in sight. We visited the markets in the historical part of the town and were pleasantly surprised by the crowds, the food was to die for and the great architecture. In the old part, narrow waterways, surrounded the buildings, the color and smell of the markets is hard to describe, you simple have to be there. We had lunch at a fancy restaurant, fish with mashed potatoes, plain food by European standards but we loved it. Later we drove around the Lake and watched a parade of colorful parasailing descend the mountain. We made a pack that we would try it for our self tomorrow, but the weather changed.
