Annecy, my Valentine

Find yourself single with a bar of chocolate in the most beautiful place in the world this Valentine's Day? Don't fret, the pictures are worth it.

On the good ol' Tuesday I took the train to the breath-taking Annecy. At the base of Mont Blanc and spooning a crystal clear lake, this small town is filled with perfectly cobbled streets and quaint restaurants.

I spent the afternoon walking around with my backpack as a solid companion and a bar of chocolate stuffed in my purse. People gawked at my peculiar appearance as I gawked at the gorgeous landscape. Je ne vais jamais avoir des mots was the only response I had to an old lady nice enough to take my picture and strike up a conversation about this little gem-of-a-place.

Une journée genevoise

So with two weeks of vacation why not go to Geneva for the day, buy ridiculously expensive artisan chocolates and pretend you can afford Switzerland.

I don't dirty the sidewalks

Red Cross

Cathedrale

 

The streets were a little too "proper".

Score for the world!

Snuck into the library at the Université de Généve just to try it on for size... The tuition was a little too big.

 The United Nations was well, extremely gated. I was really hoping to get in a chat but the water cooler wasn't quite open for business.

But Geneva sure had its beautiful moments...
