The city of Geneva

---

Hi again,

Today I took a trip into the city to wonder around. This was my first trip into town without any one to help me along. It was not as difficult as i thought it would be. I was able to jump on the bus and head into the heart of Geneva. From there I ended up touring around the city trying to get good representational shots to bring back. It is a beautiful city that is centered around Lake Geneva (or as its called here Lac Léman). I still have not gone into any shops and tried to purchase anything mostly cause I don't really have a grasp of the language of french yet, but I'm working on it. That will have to be another adventure into town. For now this will have to do.

All love,
Brian
