Chamonix in Chamonix

Last, last weekend we went hiking in the adorable mountain town of Chamonix!

What our teacher promised would be a leisurely three hour first day hike turned into an intense six hours up and down to see glacier! On the way though, we ate (somewhat sketchy) wild strawberries along the trail. The view was absolutely gorgeous – the pictures do not do it justice… nor do they adequately show how SCARY it was.

The next day we took a lift thingy up to La Flagere and hiked via l’Index to Col de la Gliere at roughly 8000 feet. Yup, 8000 feet! SO THERE to anyone who thought I wouldn’t make it! (you know there were a lot of you).

This past weekend… we took an ‘educational school field trip’ to Berlin. Details and pictures to come after my weekend in Rome…
