So, what do you do if
you are a mailman, a little bit bored, and live in France?
Well, you build a palace right out of a childs imagination. The Le Palais Ideal Facteur Cheval is just such a place, and I think well worth a visit with a camera. Take a look for yourself.

That's right, I'm getting ready for my next trek, which just happens to start out near the Rhone Alps region of France. That means I will need something to do for a few days before the hike. So, how about some site seeing? And this humble little palace caught my eye.
There are plenty of places I'd like to see. Among them some of the sites of Lyon, Roman ruins and Annecy. My roommate however, seems to have his heart set on Paris. Though, I think that is in part nostalgic because he remembers having gone there with only change in his pockets back in his very early college years. And part of it is because he seems to think that there isn't much else to see outside of the tourist centers of Paris--at least that is the impression I have been getting from him. I'm hoping to encourage him to venture out a little further. After all, it isn't all just scenery and sitting around in cafes people watching. There's a lot to see and do.
More updates on sites to see soon.
The next question is whether to take the one week trek or the two week trek around Mont Blanc. It's looking like the one week. Mostly because he claims he doesn't have the vacation time and partly because he's never been on a trek of more than 1 days length. Though he will tell you that it's because I can't heft 30 pounds with my left arm yet. Last week that weight limitation was 10 pounds. I wonder how long it will be before he realizes I've been donning 30 pound plus packs for a couple of weeks now without any limitations from my left arm. I've always used my right arm to heft the pack up on the back. Besides, our packs will likely never be heavier than 15 pounds, if that.
