Are we in France or Switzerland?

- Chamonix -

Last weekend I went snowboarding in Chamonix, France, with Trevor and a big group of his friends from Kaiserslautern.


Chamonix, France, is just west of Switzerland and just north of Italy. Geneva is about an hour north of Chamonix.


Chamonix is the valley below Mont Blanc, the tallest peak in Western Europe. The yellow line indicates the Italian boarder.


Behold the Alps!

- Geneva -
I also went to Geneva to visit Chris and his good friends Selim and Ingrid.

Sailboats and mountains - does it get much better?
