a lot of winning in this thread, traveling with friends, excellent
The French are great in my experience -- paris is harsh like all big cities, but the french have loved all things american at least since their introduction to Jazz
Boredtoo -- I really like the old village shots, a small castle in the middle of the river, amazing how that stuff just springs up

Annecy was a surprise for me too. Someone told me about it on the trip and I figured it was worth a visit. I hear that there is a huge animation festival there in the summer.

Or the drink I bought her, but it definitely wasn't the face under the cap. That's a tough one - the whole day in Vallee Blanche was amazing, but there was something special about the huge bowls in Verbier. Worst moment is easy - it started out as a great moment as I skied through untracked fluffy powder in Verbier while following my friend, but we ended up poling, skating, hiking about 2000 yards on a nordic cat track (which was not properly marked on his map he argued) with a slight incline.
