Holiday impressions 2011

In France, in the Vosges, one day - and maybe another one we had fine weather to eat outside.
It is the family of our daughter, cousin Yann and friend Bennet
look at those clouds - it was mostly like that

And the above missing family father, DH, eating here at a picknick place -
however some 200 km further south. Because alone again, we made a trip through the eastern part of France

...saw this beautiful meadow and many other things which I did not take pictures of -
about 6 old houses which were on sale
but not for us - too old - too much work - too large - too small - too expensive - too far away

and going on to Geneva
where a super dinner in the garden and two comfortable beds were waiting for us -
weather was so exceptionally fine we could see the 8410 m high Montblanc with its snowcap - without snow it measures 4792m - I don't know - is it ever without snow?
and in the foreground the Lac Leman (Lake of Geneva)
