Annecy, France!

Last weekend, I went to Annecy, France for "Integration Weekend" for my college.  This was my first time seeing the Alps, and they are very beautiful!

The place that we stayed

 

When we first arrived, they placed us into groups and we played games on teams.  At first, I did not enjoy myself whatsoever (it felt a bit like gym class in high school or something), but it became fun as I got to know some of the French students.  We played baseball (which none of them knew the rules to, so it was fun), as well as relays, sack races, two legged races, and other like games.

 



 

Afterwards, we got some time to relax, and then we had a time of appetizers/drinks before dinner.

Everyone who went on Integration Weekend from CEFAM (I'm very far in the back, so you probably can't see me).

 

The next morning, we went to the lake in Annecy where we went paddle boating.  It was really beautiful and the water was so clear that you could see to the bottom even when you were really far out.
