Geneva--- lest just say the first 5 hours in Geneva weren't too good. We had to go to the UN and the WTO (world trade organization)... let's just say neither of these was too exciting (not surprising considering we had to get up at 7am to make it there only to miss the train out, then wait at a bus stop forever once we go there). Needless to say many people wanted to go home, but myself, Ryan and Clark decided to stick around, because we could. Once we were able to leave the WTO, we made our way to Lake Geneva (lac leman to the French)... Well its just as beautiful from the Geneva side as the Lausanne side-- except the Geneva side has the worlds largest fountain, which is essentially only a single fountain spraying into the air like a geyser. It rained on us, which hampered our ability to get around, but did find our way to a church that John Calvin gave quite a few sermons at (alas it was closed when we got in). This might have been the coolest thing we saw in Geneva, however we passed by the Museum of history and a Russian
orthodox church that the queen had built (i think if i remember correctly)... well thats about all for geneva really; enjoy the pics, some look foggy due to the fact i had a fingerprint on the lense.... next 2 blog posts will be much better
