The French Alps!!!

We are FINALLY outta Paris, and couldn't be more excited about it.  After a 5 1/2 hour multi-train journey, we have arrived in Chamonix, someplace that I have been looking forward to seeing for a long time.  It is even more magnificent than I imagined.  Having just arrived here a few hours ago, we don't have many pictures, but here is a tease of what we are going to be seeing this week:
From the train...getting excited!
The view from the french doors in our room.  That technically doesn't explain anything, as all doors here are french doors...weird.
 Here are a few last pictures from Paris that we managed to take:
Our favorite French cookies...ah sweet bliss

We went out for fondue and it was AWESOME, the best meal so far

The Latin Quarter of Paris, our favorite place to get food.  There are 98 (!) restaurants vying for your dining dollars in area so small that it takes approximately 2 minutes to walk from one side to the other.

The "Thevenin" where we had breakfast practically every day.  The quiches were phenominal

Create your own joke!  I couldn't think of anything appropriate
 In conclusion, because I'm tired, Paris was great but we were there about a week too long.  We're really excited to be in Chamonix and ready for new challenges, experiences, and pictures, all of which we will share with you.  Stay tuned, tomorrow we travel to the top of the Alps!
