Annecy, France

Yesterday was another gorgeous day in Geneva, minus the breeze that blew the pollen everywhere.  We decided to drive Linda to Annecy, France so she could say she was in two countries during her trip abroad.  We strolled through old town and enjoyed looking at the booths in the market, ate a nice lunch and visited the castle before heading home.  It was the perfect ending to her trip here.

I think vegetables always look more appetizing when displayed beautifully

Does anyone know what type of fruit this is?

Believe it or not, this was a small block of cheese

Lots of meats to choose from to go with all of that cheese

The lake

The castle, if you visit Annecy, don't waste your time

The one moment I didn't have kleenex against my nose and wasn't sneezing

One last view of the lake from the castle

  2. Here's the name of that mysterious fruit.

    Dragon Fruit
    Native to Mexico and Central and South America
    Dragon fruit, strawberry pear or pitaya is a fruit of several cactus species with a sweet delicate taste and creamy pulp. The most common dragon fruit is the red pitaya, but other varieties include the Costa Rica pataya and the yellow pataya. Juice or wine can be obtained from the fruit, while the flowers can be eaten or used for tea.
