Back in Geneva

---

When Pam and I returned from our trip, I had three days left in Geneva. We made the most of it, visiting the quaint French town of Annecy that Becky had also taken my mom to, touring the Castle de Chillon on the other side of Lake Geneva, and on my last full day, taking a boat cruise on Lake Geneva. Of course, I did all these things while sick. I caught something at the end of our backpacking trip and was nauseous for days. It might have been food poisoning, I don't know, but it was a big pain because I'd be exhausted after a few hours. Thankfully, after our excursions I could crawl back into Becky's car and sleep on the way home (no trains thank god).

It was hard leaving Geneva because I, as always, had fun hanging out with my family and I enjoyed the lifestyle of walking a lot, buying fresh produce from the farmer's market, then rewarding your healthy living by eating lots of Swiss chocolate!

The fountain, at 140 meters high, is one of the symbols of Geneva.

No, it isn't raining. It was a windy day so that's the spray from the fountain.
