France 2019: Wednesday 07/03 - French Alps + Sweden vs Netherlands

We were all still buzzing from the night before but after ingesting the required bread/cheese/baguette breakfast we piled back into the bus and headed east to Annecy. The bus ride was only about 2 hours and driving into the mountains, the scenery was great. The town is seated at the foot of the mountains on a lake fed from snow runoff. The views were spectacular. Our tour guides hosted a "farewell lunch" as roughly half the group was departing for home the next morning. After lunch Carmen went on a paddle boat ride while Amy, Caleb, and I explored the city. We left Annecy at about 4:00 and headed directly back to the Parc Olympique Lyonnais stadium for the third and final match of our trip. The Sweden vs Netherlands match was not nearly as exciting as the first two, but was still fun to attend. It did go into overtime which meant we didn't get back to the hotel until 1:00AM.
