A very nice picture of a small Château on the shores of Lac d'Annecy. The mists add a lot of fantasy to the picture. 
Again, a very fine view of a medieval fortification, this view straight down from the boat I was about to board to travel through the Lake of Annecy. The Castle of Annecy can be seen from almost anywhere in town, again, the very imposing view of the seat of feudal power.
Yesterday we got a free afternoon from the conference, so we went to a boat ride through the Lake of Annecy, it was a very nice experience, and the sights were really beautiful. This time, at last, I managed to bring my own camera, so I got loads of pictures I'm gonna post.
So according to the wikipedia, this little castle in the middle of one of the channels in Annecy is one of the most photographed monuments in all France, the Palais de l'Isle. This is a pretty interesting picture, I must say, and the surrounding old towne is also a very nice place to stroll around at night. Today I will try to get some snapshots of the place at night.
So, back I am to the land of good cuisine and of people who don't like to speak English. It's not that I don't like France, mind you, I love the country, I just wish I could communicate with them a bit more effectively. Due to the absence of a french speaking friend in my initial leg into the country, I pretty much starved, which is not good, considering that I could've gotten very good food, should I be able to actually speak to the locals. But things are now looking good, after making friends with some of the french agent dudes.
