Spent a gorgeous afternoon at Les Gorges du Fier, close to Annecy. Walking through the narrow canyon on a small wooden footbridge, we saw the Fier river rushing through the canyon, carving the limestone rocks below into different shapes. In the rocks above, we saw beautiful faces etched there. Can you spot them?
We stopped at a Champignonerie, a cave where mushrooms are grown and sold wholesale and retail. Unfortunately, there was only a small harvest this week, so we didn't buy any shiitakes, but R played with the 8+ cats on the property.
And we couldn't pass up visiting an Ostrich farm, could we? We bought ostrich steaks and dried sausage made from you know it...ostrich. We saw precious little ostrich chicks and then their bigger mamas and papas. Ostriches are the fastest living land birds and can run up to 45miles per hour...apparently, when threatened, they can give you a fierce kick but only if you're standing in front of them. Apparently, they can only kick forwards!
The pictures are so nice.. :)
