Yes!!!!  My pictures are finally uploaded!  (Chamonix, Paris, Italy)

This past weekend, I ventured out to the French Alps at Chamonix, France.  It was an immensely beautiful sight. 
In fact, I even said, “Some people say that there’s no God, or don’t believe
in any type of higher power.  However, I look at this and say to myself, there’s no way anything this beautiful cannot have been created by God.”

Chamonix is a valley town, filled with valley people who know how to enjoy life.  They are very relaxed and
friendly people that wear all types of sporty clothes.  From what we could
tell, they make most of their money off of tourism and skiing.  (We visited
during the off season, so there was very little activity.)

Highlights:

Chamonix also had a concrete luge which was a lot of fun, once I learned how to operate my board.  And when I finally did learn how to operate it,
I ended up going too fast and falling off, scraping myself and my leather
trenchcoat.  After rolling around for a while, I gathered myself up, got
back on and continued luging away.

While Ankur, Nilaksh and I were
walking around at night trying to find out way back to the hotel, a car pulled
over and a guy and girl dressed in preppy uniforms came out and asked for
our ID’s.  I looked at their shirt and it said, “Gendarderie”.  I figured
they were with the law since noone else would stop us, but I wasn’t quite
sure.  So, I asked…Dressed in his turtleneck sweater he said, “No, I just
wanted to play Tennis.”  It took us a few seconds to realize that it was
a joke.  After telling them that we were looking for our hotel and that we
were on touring while working here in America we asked where our hotel was
he told us that we had to actually climb over Mont Blanc to
get to the hotel.  This guy was funny!  We finally finished up everything
and after talking to them we thought it was great that we had light and easy
French cops to harass us.

For a very long time, I have been looking for a way to truly express how
much I hate mornings.  I have an extremely hard time waking up and getting
ready.  Well, on the way back from a night club in Chamonix, I found what
I’ve been looking for.  It’s a shirt with Calvin of Calvin and Hobbs yawning
and “Je hais le matin” (I hate mornings) on top.  Perfect!
