Grenoble

On Wednesday, I toured around Grenoble with Julie and her Mom. Here is the Olympic torch from when Grenoble hosted the 1968 Winter Olympics, known by most Americans (or at least me) as the Olympics with Peggy Fleming.

Grenoble is also known for its cable cars, which take you to La Bastille.


From there, we had a great view of the city.


There was also information on the history of the city, the Bastille, the surrounding mountains, and the Olympics. Here's Schuss, the first Olympic mascot:


For dinner, I tried another French specialty, ravioles. For dessert ...


chocolate mousse! Yum!
