For the past three weeks I have been on a trip to France with a program called Overland. Each day we hiked in the morning and then went to french class in the afternoon, and we camped on the weekends. For the last two days we were in Paris and explored the city. Here are some pictures of the trip! [email readers: view the post in a browser to see all of the photos – only some come through in email]
We stayed in a town called Chamonix which is at the base of Mont Blanc-the tallest mountain in Europe. The surrounding mountains are gorgeous and the views from our hikes were incredible.

- Little restaurants dotted the mountain sides of the valley, and made great destinations for hikes.
- The most beautiful hike was up to a glacier. It was incredible seeing it so close!
- Our leaders were amazing and very funny.
Most of the hikes looked over the town of Chamonix. It was gorgeous!
- In Paris I found my dream car…
- …walked the streets of Paris and saw Notre Dame…
- …explored the tunnels and bones of the catacombs far beneath the city, and even the subway…
- …and finished our time in France with, of course, le Tour Eiffel.
I’m glad to be back but will definitely miss the Alps and the once in a lifetime experience that I had there.
