Vacation's over

Our little vacation in the Alps was a lot of fun. The landscape took my breath away practically every day. The air was healthy and fresh, and there are a lot of fun activities to do there.
Quitterie didn't seem to share my opinion. I think she's more blazé than I am at this point, having lived in the Alps all her life. Understandable. But still, in the Alps, you can go skiing and snowboarding, hiking, rock climbing, do a via ferrata, swimming in the lake, hydrospeed in the rapids, building your own house (what the family did from 2003-2005), etc.
The mountains completely dwarf all of the buildings around and on some summer days, there is indeed a bit of snow on their tips, exactly how I depicted them in my childhood drawings.

As we drove into Limoges, our new home, my heart tightened at the prospect of what was to come, namely finding a job and making new friends.
