Chamonix

The last two days have been spent shopping in Chamonix, an outdoor-sports town at the base of the Mont Blanc in the French Alps. For a small town, there is a surprisingly large amount of retail shopping, due to the large tourist population. The many sports stores are geared towards the ski, hiking, and climbing crowd, as there were many climbers taking the Chamonix tram up with us. The cable tram to the top of Aguille du Midi afforded an amazing (ridiculously amazing) view of the mountaing and the town below, and I'll try to upload my own pictures when I can later on.
