Visiting Beautiful Sites is Funner with Friends

With all that Christian had to do before leaving for his new management assignment in Romania, it was quite the sacrifice to spend a day site-seeing and hiking with us Baker's. Lac Chambon is situated atop a volcanic moutain with a great beach and pristine waters. Although it was a warm summer day, at this altitude of 1600 meters, the breezes and shade made for a perfect setting. A vacation favorite for many, this location has a variety of venues such as castles, climbing & hiking, kids' playgrounds, boating and fishing. All in all, the food, weather and company made for an absolutely perfect day. Thank you so much, Falconet's.






















A couple of pictures deserve a little explanation, though. Like the self-cleaning porta-potty - an engineering marvel. And what look like strings or something are actually bungy-type cords for kids to play on. Then there were the following shots of a huge open-air sculpture project. With Marijke's love of stitching, we had to investigate this huge star made with 'yarn' and big 'bobbins' as in lacemaking. It nearly ended in a catastrophe when I got lost, though; thankfully some other tourists found me! I guess you could say I got kind of tangled up in the moment.






Here you see us walking back towards the restaurant where we had just eaten.
