Chamonix, France is great! It's an outdoor sports mecca - I've seen tons of people with climbing gear (both rock & ice). People ride mountain bikes through the streets, and para-gliders circle above. The city has the feel of a ski resort, like Vail.
Chamonix is in a valley between 2 mountains. I've been to the top of both of them - one yesterday & one today. The views were spectacular! I rode cable cars to the top of both of them, and across a huge glacier today. At the end of the trip, I was in Italy. I stopped for a pizza, before heading back to France. Exhausted & a little sunburnt (despite lots of sunscreen), I'm very satisfied.
I considered staying longer, but I decided that I've been in France long enough. Off to Switzerland tomorrow, where I'm sure to see more mountains. I'll definitely be back here someday.
