Day 10

Chamonix Campground 10:09 PM 6/30/10

Another beautiful day in Chamonix. We woke up around nine and took our time getting ready. Troy and I decided to walk around twon today and maybe do a little hike later on. We went to a few stores and got some things that we needed for our travels (a tarp, daypack for me, another carabiner and a sewing kit). Then we went to McDonalds for lunch. Not so great, but free wi-fi. After lunch we walked some more (big surprise). We ambled around town, then came back to our tent and I took a nap in the shade while Troy sewed his pack. it had been such a warm day that the shade felt good, but I awoke to rain drops so we pulled all our gear into the tent and it poured for almost an hour. Then we got ready to go for a walk to a lake on the other side of town. Wasn't so spectactular, but on the path around it we saw tiny little frogs, smallest I've ever seen. Then we went to a horrible Tex-Mex restaraunt! The food was aweful but the bathrooms were all bright purple! We headed back to our tents and on the way we saw giant slugs, a yellow and black striped snail and miniature wild strawberries growing. Tomorrow we are going over the Alps to Italy!
