France Day 8 - A Day in the Alps 

I will admit today was probably my most favorite day so far. We took a private bus to Chindrieux which is located almost two hours from our hostel. Once we arrived, we were in awe of how beautiful and unreal this lake area was. We rode paddle boards and kayaks to explore more of the scenery. A couple of the guys went cliff jumping with some of the locals and had the time of their life.  Junior Vicente Urdaneta was one of the few who jumped off. The Alps are breathtaking, and the water felt great.  

We also got to celebrate another birthday and today's was the most special, it was our Athletic Director Jimmy Clark's birthday! No better way to spend your birthday than at the Alps.
