And finally Talloires...

We have arrived bleary-eyed and exhausted. Gabriella picked us up in Geneva and we drove around Annecy and then to our temporary home in Talloires. Sunny. Beautiful. Quaint. Magical. The green. The mountains spectacular. The lake’s colors aqua to green. Cows. Goats. Cafes. Went to an amazing pastry shop for a baguette with cheese, tomato and ham for lunch. So simple. So delicious. Just like how we like to cook. The town and 11th Century Monastery are charming. We can’t wait to explore tomorrow.

LAX!!!!


Goodbye LA for June!

Angels seem to always be taking care of us -- and id continues on our travels. We boarded our flight at LAX and were given the best seats on the plane. Seriously, it was like we had a little cubicle for our seats. We made friends with Mike and Mel – two awesome flight attendants for US Airways who kept wine and food flowing. Thanks guys!!! Marissa’s plane reading is Inside the Cripts so she can get a better understanding of gang life in LA. In waiting is Bringing Home the Birkin. So Marissa – looking cute while helping kids in the hood. Go girls!

Will visit Greg’s nephew Zach at Cern in Geneva, Switzerland. He’s a particle physicist – yes a genius. Will get to tour the “underground town” they call home for their research.

Going to see my dear friend Gabriella at the Tufts University Center in Talloires (pronounced Tal-wor), France. So excited!!!

While we sun and pack...Saadiq...
