Check in 2

so i lied, i'm not in paris i'm still in Grenoble but i've been reflecting over my time here in france and thought i'd tell you about this little citty i've fallen in love with. Its called Annecy and its in a department called Haut Savoie, in the Rhone Alpes Region, It's called "the Venice of the Alpes" because it was built on a river delta and lake and has many charming cannals, like Venice, Italy. This is one of 3 remaining contenders to host the 2018 Winter Olympics( munich and pyochang, south korea are the others) this little city is about 30 minutes by slow train from Genevia or about 2 hours by TER(slow train) from Grenoble. and I definately love it even in winter; i'm told spring is the time to visit so i can see going back to this place, it is so charming and thier are a few must sees,
1.) th'e chateau/ Museum of course this is france and all the great castles are now museums and this once was the capital of the kingdom of savoie so go visit you'll really enjoy it and there is a cool exhibit on the life in the lake Annecy
2.) there is a candy shop called "la Cure Gourmande" i'm talking about a candy shop so you know its some good candy.
3.) this is france and as such every city as a cathedral and most of them are called notre dame ( and you thought it was only in Paris) and Annecy is no exception but the one in Annecy is especially beautiful and is lookated right on the quai
4.) wonder around the quais a little bit you'll see some really cool bridges and passage ways as well as some amazing arcitechture


ok and since i obviously would prefer that Annecy host the Olympics then munich or pychang i'm going to give reasons why its a better choice
number one ... FRENCH ALPES france has hosted the second most winter games and over all games hosting in 3 cities in the Rhone Alpes Region Chamonix 1924, Grenoble 1968, Albetville 1992 so obviously the French can host the games, not to mention no french hosted olympics has ever been boycotted or had a major crisis;
REasons not to pick Munich: Germany has hosted 2 times Berlin 193-, Munich 72, to say the least niether of these games ended favorably, durring the Berlin Games the Head of state threatens to kill an american competitor (Jesse Owens) becauise a Black man beating an Aryan didnt fit his ideology, and i dont think the world has for gotten the Tragety of The munich games, and the loss of 13 israelis(if you have watch munich it'll catch you back up to speed)
reasons not to pick south Korea, uhm they are in the middle of a never ending war and especially right now if you hand them something with out handing something to the north all hell will break loose so i hope the IOC makes the right decession.
