Grenoble: March 2011

Photo Dump!

Sorry, the amount of school work I have to do has really increased. I can pretty much see the end of my stay here, the majority of trips and activities are planned up until my flight. Have faith! This blog will be finished extensively, even if it means working on some of it back in America.

That being said, I am dumping a bunch of photos on you to try and stay some-what afloat.

Between Place Victor Hugo and Jardin De Ville

My very large piece of Samon for dinner (it was on sale).

An old French film I saw at the grocery store.

You know by now that I love my lunch break.

Just a picture of a side street near Cours Jean Jaurès (East Grenoble).

Same area as above.

Place de Verdun, looking North towards the Bastille on the mountain side.

Place de Verdun, looking West.

Skiing at Chamrousse.

Skiing at Chamrousse, above the "sea" of clouds.

Chamrousse, Grenoble would be visible if it weren't for the clouds.

Chamrousse, the lift up.

Panoramic Mayhem!

The Dorm's Help Desk and the vehicle exit out of the complex.

Along the back-road at the University, other Dorms ahead, neighborhood on the left.

Skiing at Chamrousse, the valley was completely coverd by a "sea of clouds".

"EVE", the on-campus bar and coffee shop run by the student organization, they also host concerts and film showings.

Geneva Car Show! Really crowded, this was 1 of 3 rooms.

Place de Verdun... a bunch of government buildings, except for the one on the right, it's part of the University.

The far East-end of the campus. You can see the Alpes and Vernon (the village I have visited many times before).

The view from my neighbor's window (he lives across the hall).

Our closest Tram Stop! This is the C and D lines, incase you were dying to know.

Typical looking hall on campus (Psychology dept.)

Geneva Auto Show

Woke up at 5:30 AM Saturday morning and got on the train at 7 to go to Geneva, Switzerland. I had already booked a round trip train ride with an included entrance fee for 36 euros the day before, so I just had to pack lunch and leave. The train ride took 2 hours and marks my 4th time there. The autoshow is in a giant warehouse. Each company had their own spot and generally worked hard to construct an environment.
