Man, what a day! Seriously, I’m still reeling from it. So, I wake up in my cozy little spot on Rue de la Poste, right? The sun’s shining, birds are chirping, and I’m like, “Today’s gonna be chill.” Spoiler alert: it was NOT chill.
First off, I decide to hit up the local boulangerie on Rue du Mont-Joly. You know, the one with the best croissants in town? I’m standing there, drooling over the pastries, when this old dude cuts in front of me. Like, excuse me? I’m about to lose it. But I just breathe, count to ten, and grab my buttery goodness. Worth it, tho.
Then, I stroll down to the thermal baths. Saint-Gervais is famous for those, right? I’m all about that relaxation life. But guess what? The place is packed! I mean, who knew everyone and their grandma would be there? I’m trying to chill in the hot springs, but there’s this kid splashing everywhere. I’m like, “Dude, chill! This ain’t a water park!”
After that, I’m feeling a bit hangry, so I hit up this little café on Avenue du Mont d'Arbois. I order a burger, and it takes forever. I’m sitting there, scrolling through my phone, and I see a post about the Mont Blanc views. I’m like, “Ugh, I should be up there, not waiting for a burger!” Finally, it arrives, and it’s massive! I’m talking, like, a mountain of a burger. I take a bite, and it’s heavenly. Happiness level: 100.
So, I’m stuffed and decide to walk it off. I wander down to the Parc Thermal. It’s beautiful, man. The flowers are blooming, and the air smells like fresh pine. I’m feeling all zen until I trip over a rock. Classic me, right? I laugh it off, but then I see this cute dog. I’m like, “Aww, what a good boy!” But then it starts barking at me. I’m like, “Chill, dude! I’m not here to steal your human!”
Next, I head over to the Place de la Mairie. There’s a market going on! Fresh fruits, veggies, and all that good stuff. I’m browsing, and I spot this guy selling cheese. I’m a sucker for cheese, so I grab a chunk of this local stuff. It’s so good, I could cry. Seriously, I’m tearing up over cheese.
But then, outta nowhere, it starts to rain. Like, what the heck? I’m caught without an umbrella. I dash for cover under a stall, and the vendor’s like, “You good?” I’m like, “Yeah, just living my best life!” But inside, I’m like, “Why, Saint-Gervais, why?”
Finally, the rain stops, and I’m soaked but happy. I decide to head back home, but I take a detour through Rue des Cimes. The views of the mountains are insane! I whip out my phone to snap a pic, and my battery dies. Of course! Just my luck, right?
I get back to my place, and I’m exhausted. I flop on my couch, thinking about the day. It was a rollercoaster, for sure. From croissant drama to burger bliss, and a rain-soaked adventure. Saint-Gervais, you’ve got my heart, even if you drive me a little nuts sometimes.
So, yeah, that was my day. Just another wild ride in Saint-Gervais-les-Bains. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings!
