We took a flight from Geneva to Dublin to spend the night and part of the day in Dublin before going back to Boston. We went out to a nice traditional dinner. I had a delicious lamb shank. Dad got us a very nice hotel and we stayed there for the night. The next day we went to the little museum of Dublin. The museum was beautiful and our tour taught me many things about Ireland that I didn’t know. We walked through Trinity College and I had bangers and mash for lunch. That was about when we had to head back and pick up our bags from my hotel. we had a little bit of trouble getting to our hotel because there is a BeyoncΓ© concert across the street from our hotel so the road was closed. Then we grabbed our bags and headed off to the airport. We went through multiple securities but eventually got on our plane. (They checked us into the U.S. in Ireland. Our plane was rerouted to go through Greenland because of weather and other reasons so we had a beautiful view but got in later than expected. We caught the bus up to New London and by that time I was ready to pass out. This was an amazing trip!! ππππππ

The ice cream has been beat. Went to this amazing hut. First we went on a little hike down from the top of the Brevent tram. We did a lot of boot skiing on little patches of snow. Then we took a little break before taking another tram and exploring a site near mont blanc (The aiguille du midi — almost 13,000 feet high). We took the tram back down halfway and then walked 15 minutes to our hut. It was beautiful with gardens everywhere and a really cute dog. We had a small room where the four of us fit nicely. Because of mom’s food allergies she doesn’t usually get a good meal at places like this, but at this hut she ate more than the rest of us (potato soup, basque chicken, rice). When we woke up the next morning we had a nice breakfast and said goodbye to the dog. Then we walked 4.5 miles to A glacier where we looked around before taking a train back down to the valley. We’ve been resting down here for a bit but soon we’re gonna head out for dinner and watch the France Game. The hut is the best thing of the trip!! π
We decided to go to Annecy instead of going to huts because we were all tired. So we all piled in the car and drove to Annecy. Annecy was beautiful. In Annecy there was a giant blue Lake. We walked all around in the pedestrian parts of Annecy. We walked along the lake and then found lunch. I had salmon tartare, it was absolutely amazing. Our waitress suggested a place with good ice cream and sorbet. We walked up to castle and then went to the ice cream place. The man gave us each samples. I wasn’t planning on having ice cream but the sample was so good that I decided to have some and so did mom and dad. I got a Nutella like flavor, called Rocher. Eva got chocolate mint, and mom and dad got raspberry sorbet. We then headed back. The ice cream is one of the stars of my trip!! We came home and then dad prepared a heavenly meal which we all appreciated gratefully — duck and turkey breast with cranberry red wine sauce. All put together this might have been the best day of the trip!!πππ














We left Burgundy Friday morning and drove and drove until eventually we reach a small town that we had lunch in. We headed on to near Geneva where we met up with one of dads friends from high school. We spent a night at his house. I loved dinner and the house was beautiful. The next morning we headed into Chamonix. We checked into our apartment and explored town. We stayed at home for dinner. The next day, dad Eva and I, because mom Felt sick, went up to a hut. We got to our hut and got rid of extra weight. Then we hiked on to another hut that had a beautiful lake and Glacier like surroundings. Then we headed back to our hut. We relaxed and looked at Mont Blanc, the view was amazing. Next came dinner it was delicious, we met people from Australia and Hungary. We played a few games of cards and went to bed. The next day we continued our hike to another tram which we could take down. The hike was fun because we kept on running into people who had stayed at our hut. When we got there we took a tram up to the top of a mountain where we had a great view of Mount Blanc. We then took the tram back down and took another tram back to the valley. We then met up with mom again at the apartment and then went out for lunch. That was a sweet few days!!ππ«π«π«π«π

We decided to head to Dijon. We took a train from beaune station to Dijon. As soon as we arrived in Dijon we found a small park that was very pretty. Next we followed the owl trail around the city. It took us too many beautiful sites like many churches and castles. We explored the city and finally decided to go back to Beaune. We had a bit of a adventure finding a train but eventually took one back home. We rested up a bit then headed out on a drive into the countryside. We saw tons of grape fields and then headed back. Mom and Dad tested wine while Eva and I rested. when mom and Dad got back it was time to go out to dinner. The place we went to was a place we passed every day we all had very nice dinners and Eva and I had delicious desserts. All in all it was a beautiful Day!
