January: 29. Went skiing. What a beautiful day. First time skiing in the Alps! Also, to top it off, it had been raining a lot, but this meant that there was fresh snow, AND it cleared up just for me! I had a great time skiing, then eating pizza and drinking wine to celebrate my day.

30. Took a trip to Annecy, and got to take an actual hike! It's nice to be in a place with mountains. I miss the dirt. Plus the views were very nice too. Celebrated my spurt of activity with fondue, and wine!

31. Rode a bike around Lake Annecy. It's nice to be on a bike again! Although it rained on me a bit, the views were nice and it was good to feel the fresh air on my face. Once done, I had a great time wandering around the old part of town.

February:
1. Went for a run in Annecy along the lake, walked along the river, ate a baguette. I love having legs and eating bread!

2. Had a lovely walk, went to the Sunday market. I could look at fresh fruit and veggies all day long. Also the area I am in has tons of murals and art and it is so fun to find new little nooks and crannies each day.
The FIG mantra?
3. I made some new friends and started a project that has me very excited.
4. Had a nice day of resting and catching up on admin things. I even started my taxes! Joy!
5. Found a fun hike in the woods! Great catch up with a friend.

6. Great catch up with a friend. Coffee out with French friends! Gave someone directions, in French! Knew where the place was and told him where to go! Video call with the family.
7. A two baguette day, no regrets! Had someone reach out to me with a question and it felt good to be an authority on something!
Yes, that is TWO baguettes!
8. Early morning run and a rainbow! Lovely coffee and conversation x 2. Bit of rain during the day, but that just meant that I finally got some travel planned that I have been putting off!
9. Great run along the Rhone, nice weather, finished a good book.
